RUTTI, Yuliana Gomez; GORDILLO CORTAZA, Janet y SORIA QUIJAITE, Juan. Characterization of diet in biochemical and anthropometric profiles with principal component analysis in obese patients, Guayaquil - Ecuador. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.3, pp.108-114. Epub 21-Sep-2023. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i3.5572.
Objectives:
To determine the characterization of the diet in biochemical and anthropometric profiles with principal component analysis in obese Ecuadorian patients.
Methods:
Descriptive, comparative, longitudinal studies; we had access to the institutional health clinical history database and a study group was formed, they were offered a low-carbohydrate diet. The sample consisted of 110 obese patients from the Hospital of Guayaquil-Ecuador.
Results:
The patients were between the ages of 25 to 65 years. The results showed a significant loss of BMI (kg/m2) (Δ-2.6±1.9) (p<0.001), waist circumference (cm) (Δ-5.1±4.7) (p<0.001), body fat (%) (Δ-3.6±3.6) (p<0.001), triglycerides (mg/dL) (Δ-25.4±72.9) (p<0.001) and glucose (mg/dL) (Δ-6.8±9.6) (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
The low carbohydrate diet reduces BMI, waist circumference, body fat, triglycerides and glucose in obese patients.
