Relación entre tipo y cantidad de carbohidratos dietarios con el perfil lipídico y ApoB100 en adultos

Abstract

Relationship between the type and quantity of dietary carbohydrates, and the lipid profile and ApoB100 in adults. Objective.To establish if there is any relationship between the type and amount of dietary carbohydrates commonly consumed and the plasmaticlevels of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100). Materials and methods. The final sample was conformed by thedatabase of 144 lecturers of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana who had previously participated in another survey and from which weused information on their food habits, plasmatic lipid levels, lipoproteins and ApoB100. To determine the relationship between thedependent and independent variables, simple and multiple correlation analyses were done. In the cases of no correlation we applied theindependence Chi2 test to find the relationship with the consumption of total carbohydrates, sugars and total fiber. Additionally, with aone-factor analysis of variance we compared plasmatic levels of lipids, lipoproteins and ApoB100 with the consumption of totalcarbohydrates, sugars and fiber. Results. Most of the population consumes above the daily total carbohydrate recommendation, menpresented greater carbohydrate consumption of the type of sugars and more elevated plasmatic levels of triglycerides and lipoproteins of investiverylow density (VLDL), whereas women presented higher levels of their high density lipoproteins (HDL). When relating grams ofeach type of carbohydrates with the levels of lipids, lipoproteins and ApoB100, no significant correlation was found for any of the cases(p>0,05). Conclusion. There was no significant relationship between the type and amount of carbohydrates consumed with theplasmatic levels of lipids, lipoproteins and Apo B100.
