Abstract

Background: Over the last decade (2014–2024), the global prevalence of metabolic risk factors such as dyslipidemia (5-8%), hypertension (5-10%), obesity (10-15%) and elevated blood glucose levels (10-15%) has been steadily increasing. Objectives: To determine the correlation among the dietary consumption, lifestyle factors, and metabolic risk factors among the respondent of age 18-65 years. Methods: The respondent (n=419) were enrolled from August 2023 to February 2024 in Coimbatore, India. The sociodemographic characteristics, dietary intake, stress levels, and physical activity were measured using questionnaires. The respondent’s anthropometry, HbA1c level, blood pressure, and liver function tests were examined, and those with abnormal liver enzymes underwent abdominal ultrasonography for fatty liver diagnosis. The descriptive, Chi square and Kendall’s tau correlation coefficient were performed for statistical analysis. Results: This research showed a weak correlation among protein intake of the respondent and obesity (r=0.084 and p-value=0.026). A significant association was observed among blood pressure range and the consumption of fat (r=0.079, p-value=0.039), protein (r=0.158, p-value<0.001). Correspondingly, the intake of nutrient such as energy (r=0.102, p-value<0.001), carbohydrate (r=0.089, p-value<0.001), and fat (r=0.156, p-value<0.001) was positively correlated with an increased hyperglycaemic risk. Further, energy (r=0.202, p-value<0.001), carbohydrate (r=0.146, p-value<0.001) consumption level had positive correlation with fatty liver disease. Conclusions: A significant positive correlation as observed between and metabolic risk factors and dietary intake. Modifying the interventions to target these risk factors may aid lower the risk of hypertension, obesity, hyperglycaemia, and fatty liver disease in diverse inhabitants.

Abstract

Background: The Global prevalence of sarcopenia was estimated as 10% to 27% among Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) patients. Objectives: To investigate the association between nutritional status and sarcopenia among NAFLD patients. Methods: The study was conducted between January 2024 and June 2024 and included 218 study participants. The social and demographic profile, dietary habits, fatigue, and 24-hour recall dietary intake were assessed using the interview cum questionnaire. Bio Impendence Analysis (BIA) and a hand grip dynamometer were used to assess the MM and MS. Functional capacity was analysed using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Results: The relationship between relative risk factors and sarcopenia showed that male had a Relative Risk Ratio (RRR)=4.048 (95% CI: 1.073-15.275), overweight RRR=5.929 (95% CI: 1.42-24.763), Muscle Mass (MM) RRR=0.857 (95% CI: 0.741-0.99), Muscle Strength (MS) RRR=0.809 (95% CI: 0.729-0.898), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) RRR=0.254 (95% CI: 0.069-0.933), moderate fatigue RRR=0.313 (95% CI: 0.107-0.921), 6MWT RRR=0.989 (95% CI: 0.981-0.996). Conclusions: A reduction in MM, MS, and physical performance had shown a significant association with sarcopenia, indicating the reduction in these factors can lead to an increase in sarcopenia. Tailoring the intervention to increase the MM, strength, and physical performance can help in reducing the progression of  sarcopenia and disease outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most frequently occurring metabolic disorders, and is associated with Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), which damages the retina and can lead to vision loss. Objectives: The study investigated the relationship between sociodemographic, dietary, and clinical factors on the risk of DR in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). Methods: The study was conducted from November 2023 to April 2024 in Coimbatore, South India. Anthropometric measurements, Demographic, clinical, and dietary details were gathered by interviewing patients. Descriptive and binomial logistic regression were used to find out the relationship between the predictors and DR. Results: A total of 216 patients were diagnosed with T2DM for at least a year, including 41.66% of study participants with retinopathy and 58.33% without retinopathy; the majority (58%) were male, aged 40 to 59. Based on the Multivariable binomial logistic regression, indicated that Occupation (OR: 112.23, 95% CI=6.91,1820), Education (OR: 0.0753,95% CI=0.01,0.53), Monthly income (OR: 0.01,95% CI=0.01,8.27x10-04,0.25), Hypertension  (OR: 1.15,95% CI=0.02,1.89), dry fruits consumption (OR: 11.41, 95% CI=1.009,128.98), sugar and jaggery (OR: 1.10, 95%CI = 0.020,1.521), the monounsaturated oils (Peanut oil, Mustard oil, Sesame oil) (OR: 0.028, 95% CI = 0.037,0.0.22) had significant associations with DR.  Conclusions: Sociodemographic, dietary, and clinical factors appear to have significant associations with the presence and severity of DR. It is important to monitor people with Type II diabetes on a healthy diet, as well as maintaining blood pressure and glycaemic status within the normal range is likely to delay the progression of the disease.
