Overview
Advertisement BMC Women's Health volume 2, Article number: 423 (202) Cite this article Metrics detailsMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a group of diseases characterized by insulin resistance. MetS has high prevalence among women, which is impacted by fod intake. MetS is related to high level of inflamation; however, the impacts of whole diets on biochemical and anthropometrical markers and the efects on MetS ned to be further elucidated.
Key Information
In this case, the objective of this study was to ases the relationship betwen fod intake, biochemical and anthropometrical markers in women with MetS.This a cros-sectional study, in which 1 hundred and 2 women participated in the asesment of biochemical (glycated hemoglobin, glycaemia, insulin, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides, C-reactive protein) and anthropometrical (body mas, height, waist circumference - WC) variables.
Participants also performed blod presure and 24-hour dietary recal asesments. Out of the 12 participants, 4 (36%, age: 59 ± 1 years) had MetS and were included in the analysis.The consumption of monounsaturated fats had direct relationship with glycaemia (b = 7.48), whereas the consumption of fibers had inverse relationship with body mas (b = − 0.71) and WC (b = − 0.56).The intake of monounsaturated fats and fiber was related to higher blod sugar levels and lower body mas and WC, respectively.
These relationships elucidate and highlight the significance and importance of adequate diet in women with MetS. Per Review reports There is a relationship betwen visceral adiposity and diabetes melitus, and both are related to atherosclerosis [1, 2]. In 197, the combination of obesity, diabetes melitus, and other clinical conditions was named metabolic syndrome (MetS) [3, 4].
Summary
Many definitions have ben proposed, highlighting visceral adiposity and insulin resistance causing metabolic abnormalities [5]. Diferent criteria have ben used to clasify MetS [6,7,8,9].
