Participants were selected using convenience sampling. Inclusion criteria were being a Syrian refugee woman in the lactation period, having an infant aged 0\u20136 months, and volunteering to participate in the study. Women with chronic illnesses or metabolic disorders were excluded. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the assistance of a translator, using a structured Turkish questionnaire covering demographic information, anthropometric measurements, and 3-day dietary records. Dietary intake was analyzed with the BEBIS9 program and compared to the T\u00fcrkiye Nutrition Guide recommendations. Although the dietary data were collected in 2017\u20132018, the analysis was conducted using the most up-to-date national guidelines to reflect current public health priorities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Participants (n\u2009=\u2009102) had an average age of 27.9\u2009\u00b1\u20095.7 years, BMI of 27.3\u2009\u00b1\u20094.6\u2005kg\/m\u00b2, and monthly income of 1267\u2005TL. Their daily energy intake was 1593.7\u2009\u00b1\u2009556.5\u2005kcal\/day. A large proportion of participants had inadequate intake of micronutrients, with the highest insufficiency observed for pyridoxine (88.2%), followed by vitamin A (81.4%), vitamin C (76.5%), thiamine (71.5%), riboflavin (63.7%), folic acid (81.4%), vitamin B\n                      <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                      (72.6%), iron (62.8%), and zinc (68.6%).

Interventions such as culturally sensitive nutrition education, postpartum micronutrient supplementation, and improved access to migrant-friendly healthcare services are needed. Additionally, targeted policies and sustainable public health nutrition programs\u2014such as food voucher schemes, fortified food distribution, and maternal support groups\u2014should be developed in collaboration with health institutions and NGOs to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in this vulnerable population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060251399642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]],"date-time":"2026-02-09T18:26:14Z","timestamp":1770661574000},"page":"1721-1733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of the nutritional status of Syrian refugee women in the lactation period"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4234-4200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00fclay","family":"I\u015f\u0131k","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Istanbul Medipol University, Beykoz, Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muazzez","family":"Garipa\u011fao\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fenerbahce University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtemb.2014.09.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114521004724"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","first-page":"105","article-title":"Beliefs concerning dietary practices during pregnancy and lactation: A qualitative study among Iranian women residing in Sweden","volume":"14","author":"Ahlqvist M","year":"2000","unstructured":"Ahlqvist M, Wirf\u00e4lt E (2000) Beliefs concerning dietary practices during pregnancy and lactation: A qualitative study among Iranian women residing in Sweden.
