Association between Biochemical Parameters, Especially Hydration Status and Dietary Patterns, and Metabolic Alterations in Polish Adults with Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract

It is important to understand which factors are central to the development of metabolic syndrome as the burden of the condition increases (MetS). The aim of this study was to search for associations between the frequency of non-alcoholic beverage consumption (FFQ), blood pressure, anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters related to health and hydration status, and the number of MetS components in 290 adults diagnosed with metabolic disorders. Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements: body weight (BW), height (H), waist circumference (WC), handgrip strength (HGS), and total body water (TBW) were measured. Blood and urine samples were collected. We observed the highest frequency of consumption of tea drinks in women with four MetS components and fruit and vegetable juices in men with five MetS components. The highest systolic blood pressure (SBP) and BMI were found with five MetS components and the lowest TBW with three MetS components in both sexes. The lowest uric acid and urea were observed in women with three MetS components, while the lowest pH with five MetS components and the highest urine-specific gravity (USG) with four MetS components were observed in men. These findings highlight the need to focus on elucidating the relationship between diet, including beverage consumption, blood pressure, anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters, and health and hydration status in adults with metabolic disorders in further research.
