ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of lifestyle counseling on metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence in the short term. This was a before-after study design conducted in a nutrition outpatient clinic. Participants were adults presenting with MetS according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria. In the study 109 individuals (mean age 41 ± 9.6 years old) were included, the majority women (82,6%). Participants received individualized dietary prescription guidelines for healthy eating and were encouraged to perform physical activity. After five months, a decrease of 21.5% in the prevalence of MetS (p<0,001) was observed Significant mean reductions (p<0,001) in bodyweight (3.5 ± 3.4 Kg), waist circumference (4.0 ± 4.0 cm), triglycerides (33.8 ± 69.6 mg/dl) and fasting glucose we observed (6.6 ± 18.3 mg/dl), while HDL cholesterol showed an increase (2.6 ± 6.1mg/ dl, p<0,001). We conclude that lifestyle counseling consisting of individualized nutritional guidance through a balanced diet, physical activity promotion and change in lifestyle can reduce the prevalence of MetS in the short term.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el efecto de instrucciones relacionadas al estilo de vida sobre la prevalencia de síndrome metabólico (SM) a corto plazo. Este fue un estudio tipo estudio de antes y después realizado en un ambulatorio de nutrición. Los participantes eran adultos que presentan SM según los criterios de la International Diabetes Federation. El estudio incluyó 109 personas (edad media 41 ± 9,6 años), en su mayoría mujeres (82,6%). Los participantes recibieron una dieta con prescripción individualizada, pautas de alimentación saludable, y se les motivó a practicar actividad física. Después de cinco meses se observó una disminución de 21,5% en la prevalencia de SM (P <0,001). Se observó una reducción media significativa (p <0,001) en el peso corporal (3.5 + 3.4 Kg), circunferencia de cintura (4.0 + 4.0 cm), triglicéridos (33.8 + 69.6 mg/dl) y glucosa en ayunas (6.6 + 18.3 mg/dl), mientras que mostró un aumento de HDLc (2.6 + 6.1mg/dl) (p <0,001). Consejos relacionados al estilo de vida a través de una guía de nutrición individualizada dieta equilibrada, la promoción de actividad física y cambios en el estilo de vida pueden reducir la prevalencia de SM a corto plazo.
