Dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome components in women with excess weight 18 to 45 years old

Abstract

Objective. To analyze the association between dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome (MS) components in adult women with excess weight. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study with anthropometric, dietary, biochemi- cal and blood pressure data. Dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis and multiple logistic regression models were used to analyze associations. Results. The prevalence of altered glucose was 14.6%, of hypertriglyceridemia 40.4%, of altered concentration of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) 45.0%, hypertension 4.6% and MS 30%. The pattern with high consumption of corn tortillas, meats and legumes, was associated with less possibility of hyperglycemia (OR= 0.62; 95%CI 0.39-0.98). The pattern with high consumption of sweet and salty snacks, milk, rice, soaps and pasta, was inversely associated with the possibility of low HDLc concentration (OR= 0.76; 95%CI 0.60-0.97). Conclusions. A dietary pattern with greater consumption of legumes, meats and corn tortillas was associated with less possibility of having hyperglycemia.
