Abstract

Objective: Obesity, which predisposes to various chronic metabolic diseases, is known as a risk factor for insulin resistance and its prevalence is increasing both in the world and in our country. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of 71 obese women with insulin resistance before and after undergoing medical nutrition therapy. The participants, aged 18-65 years, were diagnosed with obesity and insulin resistance by a physician at least six months ago.
Materials and Methods: The study collected sociodemographic information, health and nutrition data, anthropometric measurements, food consumption frequencies, and scores from the Attitudes Towards Healthy Eating Scale and Three-Factor Nutrition Questionnaire. Biochemical findings from patient files and three-day food consumption records were also analyzed.
Results: The mean body mass index of the participants was 35.23±4.62 kg/m2 (p<0.05). The Attitude Scale for Healthy Eating scores significantly improved after medical nutrition therapy, indicating that the participants gained more knowledge about healthy nutrition. Based on the Three-Factor Nutrition Questionnaire, the participants had high scores for uncontrolled eating, emotional eating, and sensitivity to hunger before treatment (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Overall, the study highlights the importance of medical nutrition therapy in improving the nutritional status of obese individuals with insulin resistance.
