Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Data were collected using a Down Syndrome Individual Information Form, the Nutrition Behavior Scale, a 3-day dietary intake record (including one weekend day; analyzed in BeBİS), a Caregiver Information Form, the Adult Nutrition Literacy Assessment Tool, and Down syndrome-specific growth charts (Zemel et al., 2015; 2-20 years).
The intervention consisted of an 8-week basic nutrition education program delivered via live video conferencing. Individuals with Down syndrome received weekly sessions of approximately 15 minutes focusing on food groups, healthy eating principles, reducing sugary/packaged foods, increasing daily physical activity, and adequate water intake. Caregivers received four modules of approximately 30 minutes covering healthy eating principles, food groups, physical activity, common comorbidities and metabolic changes in Down syndrome, and key considerations in nutrition therapy. Illustrated and graphical slide materials were shared during sessions and sent to caregivers afterward via online messaging.

Nutrition Education (Caregiver-Involved)
Participants received an 8-week online nutrition education program. Individuals with Down syndrome attended weekly sessions (\~15 minutes) focusing on understanding food groups, adopting healthy eating principles, reducing sugary/packaged foods, increasing daily physical activity, and emphasizing adequate daily water intake. Caregivers received four modules (\~30 minutes each) covering healthy eating principles, food groups, physical activity, common comorbidities and metabolic changes in Down syndrome, and key considerations in nutrition therapy. Sessions were delivered via live video conferencing with slide-based materials shared during sessions and sent afterward via online messaging.
