Türkiye's position in socio-economic inequalities in adult obesity: a gender-specific and regional assessment.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aims to determine the current status of the obesity epidemic in Türkiye from a global perspective by examining gender-specific socio-economic inequalities at national and regional socio-economic development (SED) levels.
designA cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the 2022 Türkiye Health Survey, employing weighted binary logistic regression models, age-standardised prevalence estimates for national obesity prevalence and model-based age-adjusted prevalence estimates for regional comparisons, with analyses stratified by sex.
settingTürkiye.
participantsData included 20 725 nationally representative adults aged 20 years and older (10 808 women and 9917 men).
resultsThe national age-standardised obesity prevalence was substantially higher (OR: 1·558; 95 % CI: 1·556, 1·560) in women (28·0 %) than men (18·4 %). In low-SED regions, the gender disparity (women 28·4 %, men 17·9 %) was larger. Higher education was consistently associated with lower obesity risk, more pronounced in women and low-SED regions. The income-obesity relationship was complex. An inverted U-shaped pattern across income quintiles was observed among men in high regional SED and among women both nationwide and across all levels of regional SED.
conclusionsAs of 2022, Türkiye maintains a high obesity prevalence reflecting socio-economic patterns typical of developing countries experiencing nutritional transition. The epidemic stage varies by regional SED, emphasising the necessity for prevention strategies designed with a focus on socio-economic determinants, regional and gender sensitivity.
