ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Comparar dietas com restrição de carboidratos e com restrição de gorduras, para analisar a eficácia de ambas em relação a perda de peso, LDL-c, HDL-c, triglicerídeos, glicemia em jejum e pressão arterial. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados, em três diferentes bancos de dados, estudos de intervenção randomizados publicados entre 2002 e 2016. Após avaliação de qualidade, oito artigos foram selecionados para o presente estudo. RESULTADOS: Dietas com restrição de carboidratos demonstraram maior eficácia em relação à perda ponderal, à elevação dos níveis de HDL-c e à diminuição dos níveis de triglicerídeos, glicemia de jejum e pressóricos. A única variável em que houve maior benefício aparente com a restrição de gorduras foi a diminuição dos níveis de LDL-c. CONCLUSÃO: Uma dieta com restrição de carboidratos pode ser uma alternativa mais eficaz do que com restrição de gorduras no combate à obesidade e à síndrome metabólica. No entanto, a realização de estudos mais aprofundados é essencial para avaliar alterações em outros marcadores metabólicos importantes. (AU)
OBJECTIVES: To compare low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets to analyze their efficacy in relation to weight loss, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glycaemia and blood pressure. METHODS: For this, three randomized intervention studies published between 2002 and 2016 were analyzed in three different databases. After being evaluated for quality, eight articles were selected for the present study. RESULTS: Low-carbohydrate diets demonstrated greater efficacy concerning weight loss, elevated HDL-C levels and a decrease in triglyceride levels, fasting glycaemia and blood pressure levels. The only variable in which there was a greater apparent benefit with low-fat diet was the decrease in LDL-C levels. CONCLUSION: A low-carbohydrate diet may be a more effective alternative than a low-fat diet in the fight against obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, more in-depth studies are essential to evaluate changes in other important metabolic markers. (AU)

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the stages of behavior change related to fat and fruit/vegetable intakes and the factors associated with misperceived eating behavior (pseudo-maintenance). Methods: This cross-sectional study collected sociodemographic, socioeconomic, health, and food intake data from obese individuals (n=103) aged ≥20 years. Stages of behavior change according to the Transtheoretical Model were measured for fat and fruit/vegetable intakes. The pseudo-maintenance stage was reclassified in subjects in the action/maintenance stage who had inappropriate food habits. Multiple logistic regression models were proposed to assess the factors associated with misperceptions. Results: The prevalences of pseudo-maintenance for fat and fruit/vegetable intakes were 23.3 and 19.4%, respectively. The factors associated with misperceived fat intake were overconsumption of saturated fatty acids (OR=3.84; 1.18-12.56) and age (OR=1.06; 1.02-1.11), and with fruit and vegetable intake, income (OR=0.99; 0.98-0.99). Conclusion: The results reveal that perceived eating behavior and actual food intake diverge from anthropometric and health data, signaling the need of different intervention strategies to raise awareness in this group for the need of modifications.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os estágios de mudanças de comportamento relacionadas ao consumo de gordura e frutas/hortaliças e os fatores associados à percepção equivocada do comportamento alimentar (pseudomanutenção). Métodos: Estudo transversal com indivíduos obesos (n=103) com idade ≥20 anos. Dados sociodemográficos, econômicos, de saúde e de ingestão de alimentos foram obtidos. Os estágios de mudanças de comportamento foram aferidos segundo o Modelo Transteórico para o consumo de gordura e frutas/hortaliças. A reclassificação no estágio de pseudomanutenção foi realizada nos indivíduos em fase de ação/manutenção que apresentaram inadequações no consumo alimentar. Modelos de regressão logística foram propostos para avaliar os fatores associados às percepções equivocadas. Resultados: As prevalências de pseudomanutenção para o consumo de gordura e frutas/hortaliças foram de 23,3 e 19,4%, respectivamente, e os fatores associados à percepção equivocada do teor de gordura na dieta foram o consumo excessivo de ácidos graxos saturados (OR=3,84; 1,18-12,56) e idade (OR=1,06; 1,02-1,11), enquanto para o consumo de frutas/hortaliças o fator foi a renda (OR=0,99; 0,98-0,99). Conclusão: Os resultados revelam uma discordância entre a percepção do comportamento alimentar e os hábitos reais de consumo alimentar, perfil antropométrico e de saúde, sinalizando a necessidade de estratégias diferenciadas de intervenção a fim de despertar a consciência desses obesos para a necessidade de modificações.

Não existe consenso sobre a estratégia nutricional mais adequada para tratar a Síndrome Metabólica (SM), de tal forma que ocorra redução do risco cardiovascular. O presente estudo foi desenhado para avaliar a força de evidência dos benefícios de diferentes intervenções nutricionais na remissão da SM. A busca virtual foi realizada nas bases de dados Medline, Cochrane Library e PubMed, de ensaios clínicos randomizados publicados no período entre 1999 a 2009, em qualquer língua, em indivíduos com 18 anos ou mais e diagnóstico de SM, independente do critério. O operador booleano and foi utilizado na combinação dos MeSH terms "Metabolic Syndrome", "Síndrome x Metabólica" e "Metabolic Syndrome X"; dos entry terms "Dysmetabolic Syndrome X", Metabolic Cardiovascular Syndrome", "Metabolic X Syndrome", "Syndrome X, Metabolic" adicionados dos termos "diet", "intervention and diet", "treatment and diet" e "supplementation". Para cada estudo incluído na revisão foi estimada a Prevalência de SM e o Cálculo da Eficácia após o período de seguimento. Medidas de risco relativo para cada estudo foram descritas pelo Forest Plot. Foram identificados 131 artigos, os quais após critérios de elegibilidade resultaram em 15 estudos. Estes foram separados em quatro grupos: dieta normocalórica associada a exercícios; dieta normocalórica isolada; dieta hipocalórica associada a exercícios; e dieta hipocalórica isolada. Os ensaios com dieta hipocalórica associada à prática de exercícios apresentaram valores mais elevados de eficácia, colaborando para ressaltar os aspectos globais da mudança do estilo de vida no tratamento da SM, onde a alimentação saudável e reduzida em calorias deve ser complementada com a prática de atividade física.
There is no consensus on the most appropriate nutritional strategy for treating metabolic syndrome (MS), such that cardiovascular risk is reduced. This study was designed to assess the strength of evidence of the benefits of various nutritional interventions in MS remission. Performed in Medline, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases, the virtual search consisted of randomized clinical trials published between 1999 and 2009 in any language, studies involving individuals aged 18 or older and diagnosed with MS, regardless of the criterion. The Boolean operator and was used in the combination of the MeSH terms "Metabolic Syndrome", "Metabolic x Syndrome" and "Metabolic Syndrome X", the entry terms "Dysmetabolic Syndrome X", Metabolic Cardiovascular Syndrome," "Metabolic X Syndrome" and "Syndrome X, Metabolic", plus the terms "diet", "intervention and diet", "treatment and diet" and "supplementation". For each study included in the review, we estimated the prevalence of MS and the calculation of effectiveness after the follow-up period. Relative risk measures for each study were described by Forest Plot. We identified 131 articles, which, after eligibility criteria, resulted in 15 studies. These studies were divided into four groups: normocaloric diet associated with exercise; isolated normocaloric diet, low-calorie diet combined with exercises; and isolated low-calorie diet. Tests with low-calorie diet associated with exercising revealed higher efficiency values, helping to emphasize the global aspects of lifestyle change in the treatment of MS, in which healthy and low-calorie diet should be complemented with the practice of physical activity.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate postprandial triglyceride (TG) had a better association with cardiovascular events and metabolic syndrome than fasting TG. The authors of the present study investigated the metabolic and clinical relevance of postprandial TG. METHODS: In a cross-sectional retrospective study, the authors of the present study compared fasting and postprandial TG and analyzed the relationship between postprandial TG and various demographic and metabolic parameters in 639 Korean subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D, group I, n=539) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG, group II, n=100) after ingestion of a standardized liquid meal (total 500 kcal, 17.5 g fat, 68.5 g carbohydrate, and 17.5 g protein). RESULTS: Fasting and postprandial TG were significantly correlated (r=0.973, r=0.937, P<0.001) in group I and II, respectively. Of the variables, total cholesterol, waist circumference and body mass index were significantly correlated with fasting and postprandial TG in both groups. Only postprandial TG showed a significant correlation with glucose metabolic parameters (e.g., postprandial glucose, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR], and fasting C-peptide) in subjects with T2D. Multiple regression analysis showed fasting TG and HOMA-IR could be predictable variables for postprandial TG in subjects with T2D. CONCLUSION: Postprandial TG was very strongly correlated with fasting TG. The authors of the present study suggest insulin resistance may be more associated with postprandial TG than fasting TG in Korean T2D patients on a low-fat diet.
