Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with obesity grade I
Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is defined as a group of some of the following characteristics: central obesity, insulin resistance, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Obesity is considered a worldwide public health problem, with a rapid increase in prevalence.Objectives:To determine the current nutritional status of the patient, and intervene with measures and methods to improve its clinical status.Methods:A 51-year-old female patient was evaluated. A questionnaire was applied to determine the nutritional status and an anthropometric evaluation was done.Results: The anthropometric evaluation along the nutritional follow-up showed a gradual reduction in the patient’s measures, as well as body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI), that were initially 87,90kg and 34,34(kg/m²) in the first visit, went to 84,00kg and 32,81(kg/m²)in the second consultation, and ended with 31.91(kg/m²)and 81.00kg.Discussion:The improvement in carbohydrate metabolism can be explained by the decreased intake of nutrients, providing weight loss as was the case of the patient who had a weight loss of 7.8%, being enough to demonstrate improvements in her clinical condition, such as blood glucose levels that went from 109.9 mg/dl to 99.1 mg/dl.Conclusion:After evaluating and comparing the results of this study, the conclusion was that the patient reported an inadequate amount of ingested calories, resulting in an excess weight classified as grade 1 obesity.
