In the age of globalization, hectic pace of life and losing the individual characteristics of communities is widespread. Therefore, it is necessary to record and analyse the language and culture which survive in the memory of the older generation or have been preserved in their daily lives. Turks living in the Balkans, who have flooded into this area in different historical periods, came under the process of slavization, but for centuries were an important part of the Ottoman Empire, which had impact on both their language and customs. This paper aims to present the vocabulary on kinship and names of family members preserved in this language (more precisely in the dialect of Milino village and the surrounding area). On the basis of this vocabulary, it is possible to investigate phonetic changes which have taken place in the Turkish language of Turks living in north-eastern Bulgaria. The fact that the terms of kinship have survived proves that the form of family life has not changed, despite the socio-cultural transformations.

The aim of this study was to determine underweight, overweight, and obesity prevalence in representative sample of adult (≥ 18 years old) Turkish population living in urban and rural area of Turkey. Turkish citizens aged ≥ 18 who can represent adult population and permanently resident in Turkey were taken to this study in 1999–2000. The nationally representative sample population was selected from the target population using the census which was performed by national institute of statistics at 1997. Target population was 13.570 individuals living in these houses and 8674 people who aged ≥ 18 are chosen for the study. BMI was used as widely accepted diagnostic criteria of obesity. This study demonstrated that the prevalence of underweight was 10.7% in men, 5.9% in women and 8.1% for overall. The prevalence of overweight was 17.4% in men, 20.4% in women and 19% for overall. The prevalence of obesity was 7.8% in men, 22.1% in women and 15.6% for overall. The prevalence of overweight is higher (19.6%) in urban areas but prevalence of obesity is higher (17%) in rural areas of Turkey. Age, educational level and marital status seem to have association with obesity prevalence. The data we obtained showed us that while the underweight is still an issue for men, the overweight and obesity prevalence is high and needs to take early prevention steps for Turkish population.
