Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of nutrition counseling on improving metabolic syndrome (MS)
risk factors. Sixty-eight subjects were grouped according to their numbers of MS risk factors. Subjects who have three
or more risk factors of MS were defined as “High risk”, subjects who have two risk factors of MS were defined as
“low risk”, and subjects who have below two risk factors of MS were defined as “no risk” group. All groups finished
nutrition counseling every three weeks for 12 weeks. Anthropometric, dietary assessments (24 hr-recall) and blood
samples were measured at 0 and 12 weeks nutrition counseling. After 12 weeks of intervention, anthropometric data
(weight, BMI, body fat (%), and waist/hip ratio) were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in all groups. Daily consumption
of calorie was decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in the group of low risk and high risk. Blood level of fasting plasma
glucose was significantly decreased (p < 0.001) in all groups after 12 weeks of intervention. Significantly, the fasting
plasma glucose level was returned to normal range in the high risk group. The number of people who have three or
more risk factors of MS (high risk group) was decreased from 25 to 12. Sum of MS Criteria decreased from 85 to
52 in the group of MS and decreased from 143 to 99 in all groups. These results indicate that nutrition counseling
for male workers at the worksite proved to be helpful by reducing the risk factors of MS and thereby reducing the
risk of cardiovascular disease. Continuing and systematic nutritional management programs should be developed and
implemented for male workers at the worksites. (Korean J Community Nutrition 13(1) : 46~61, 2008)
