ABSTRACT
Objective To explore a method of subsection adjustment for the proportion of three capacity nutrients in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods Totally 334 MS patients who were diagnosed in the physical examination center and the department of endocrinology and nutrition of Xi'an Central Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University of School of Medicine were enrolled in this study.According to calculator random digital method,the patients were divided into intervention group (n=168) and the control group (n=166).The energy of two groups were calculated according to the following formula,y =13.5-0.025x1 + 0.215x2-0.006x3+0.342x4-0.268x5+0.623x6 (x1:age,x2:activity intensity index,x3:waist circumference,x4:environmental temperature,x5:BMI,x6:sex).The limit of daily energy was set to 5.02-7.53 MJ.The proportion of the three major nutrients for energy was adjusted of different energy segments of intervention group.When the daily energy was 5.02 MJ,the protein energy ratio was 30％,and the energy increased by 0.42 MJ per time while the protein energy supply ratio was reduced by 2.5％.The energy ratio of carbohydrate was 40％,and the energy increased 0.42 MJ per time while the energy ratio increased by 2.5％.The energy ratio of fat was 30％ on various stages of energy supply.The energy proportions of the three major nutrients in the control group were as follows:protein 15％,fat 25％,and carbohydrate 60％.Results After the intervention by 6 months,the 2-hour postprandial blood glucose of intervention group decreased from (9.22±5.57) mmol/L to (6.05±4.68) mmol/L,the hemoglobin A 1 c decreased from (6.79 ± 1.12) ％ to (5.56± 1.32) ％,and the triglyceride decreased from (3.14±1.73) mmol/L to (1.72±1.17) mmol/L.There was significant difference compared with those in control group (P =0.000,0.027,0.034).Conclusion The proportions of the three major nutrients in MS can remarkably improve the glucose and lipid metabolism in MS patients.
