Nutritional Intervention in the Metabolic Syndrome

Objective: Through an interventional study in the metabolic syndrome, evaluate the feasibility of the standard nutritional intervention. Design: Select metabolic syndrome patients from people who received a health check in our hospital and randomly allocate them into four groups. The standard interventional group received both the nutritional intervention and health education; the simple interventional group only received the nutritional intervention; the simple health educational group only received health education; the control group did not receive any intervention measure. Examine the related index of the metabolic syndrome of each group before and half a year after the intervention: waistline, blood pressure, triglyceride, fasting plasma glucose etc. K-W test and Chi-square test, Bonferroni correction was used in our study. Outcomes: The index of the metabolic syndrome was significantly different for each of the four groups before and after intervention (p＜0.05). Relative to the control group the total index for the standard nutritional interventional group and for, the simple health education group was significantly different, but there was no difference for the other indices (p＞0.05) between the standard nutritional interventional group and simple nutritional interventional group, except that the waistline difference (p＜0.005) showed statistical significance. Conclusion: The standard nutritional intervention is an effective strategy for patients with the metabolic syndrome.
