Link Between Biochemical, Anthropometric Variables and CD36 in Metabolic Syndrome After a Low-calorie Diet

Medical nutrition treatment was planned for all participants with metabolic syndrome. A diet plan was created considering age, gender, blood findings and nutritional habits. Individuals with MetS were given a weight loss diet planned at the basal energy level calculated with the Harris-Benedict equation and applied for 8 weeks. Individuals who applied the weight loss diet were targeted to lose at least 5% of their initial weight at the end of 8 weeks. Individuals who strictly followed the given medical nutrition treatment and achieved the targeted weight loss formed the intervention group, and individuals who did not follow the medical nutrition treatment formed the control group. At the end of the 8 weeks, all parameters, blood pressure and anthropometric measurements of all individuals who participated in the study and retrospective 24-hour food consumption records were recorded again and the study was concluded.
