- Abstract
Background: Nutrition education and lifestyle counseling should be adapted to individual needs and delivered in a patient-centered unit. Education can be delivered both to individual and family and in small group settings. Lipid, protein and carbohydrates metabolism was studied in patients with alimentary obesity in 2016. Methods: We examined 30 obese patients (20 women and 10 men) from Cimislia, between 52 and 62 years old, regarding their serological parameters levels linked to metabolism status. Results: The majority showed an increased content of all lipid, lipids fractions (phospholipids, cholesterol, free fatty acids, trigliceridies), very low and low density lipids, and a reduced content of high density lipoproteins. A normal lipoproteinemia was only ascertained in 15.8% of the patients. Hyperlipoproteinemia-IIa was detected in 15.8% of the patients. Hyperlipoproteinemia-IIb in 8.4% and Hyperlipoproteinemia-IV in 24.6% of the patients. Disorders of the glucoze tolerance test-GTT were revealed in 18% of the patients. Of these, 8.3% had low curves of the GTT, 4.9% questionable, and 6.4% of the patients manifested diabetic curves. In addition, all the patients had an increased basal level of immunoreactive insulin. Hyperproteinemia was discovered in 59.8%, hyperalbulinemia in 67.8%, and disglobulinemia in 62% to 78% of the patients. Conclusion: Apart from an appreciable excess body weight, the dietetic management produced the normalization and improvement of the indicators under study in the overwelming majority of the patients.
