Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Tip 2 diyabetli bireylerde diyetle omega-3 alımının metabolik risk parametreleriyle ilişkisinin araştırılması amacıyla yürütülmüştür.
Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki araştırma, beslenme ve diyet polikliniğine başvuran Tip 2 diyabet (Tip 2 DM) tanılı 76 birey ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Omega-3 İçeren Besinlerin Tüketim Sıklığı Formu ile toplanmıştır. Bireylerin antropometrik ölçümleri araştırmacılar tarafından alınmış, biyokimyasal ölçümleri hasta dosyalarından kaydedilmiştir. Veri analizinde Mann Whitney U testi ve Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Sonuçlar: Kadınlarda günlük omega-3 tüketim miktarı ortalama 2,17±0,99 g iken; erkeklerde 2,28±1,43g’dır. Omega-3, Eikosapentaenoik Asit (EPA) tüketim miktarı metabolik risk parametreleriyle ilişkili değildir (p>0.05). Bireylerin Dokosaheksaenoik Asit (DHA) tüketim miktarı ile High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) kolesterol değerleri arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı negatif yönde zayıf ilişki saptanırken (r=-0,245, p<0,05), DHA tüketim miktarı ile diğer metabolik risk parametreleri arasında ilişki saptanamamıştır (p>0,05).
Tartışma: Bu çalışmada Omega-3, eikosapentaenoik asit (EPA) tüketim miktarının metabolik risk parametreleriyle ilişkili olmadığı, DHA tüketim miktarı arttıkça metabolik risk paramaterlerinden HDL kolesterolun azaldığı ve DHA tüketim miktarının diğer metabolik risk parametreleriyle ilişkili olmadığı saptanmıştır.

Relationship of Dietary Omega-3 Intake with Metabolic Risk Parameters in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between dietary omega-3 intake and metabolic risk parameters in individuals with Type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out with 76 individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (Type 2 DM) who applied to the nutrition and diet outpatient clinic. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form and the Frequency of Consumption of Foods Containing Omega-3 Form. Anthropometric measurements of the individuals were taken by the researchers and biochemical measurements were recorded from the patient files. Mann Whitney U test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for data analysis.
Results: The mean daily omega-3 consumption was 2.17±0.99 g in women and 2.28±1.43 g in men. Omega-3, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) consumption was not associated with metabolic risk parameters (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant negative weak correlation between the amount of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) consumption and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol values (r=-0.245, p<0.05), while there was no correlation between DHA consumption and other metabolic risk parameters (p>0.05).
Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the amount of omega-3, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) consumption was not associated with metabolic risk parameters, HDL cholesterol, one of the metabolic risk parameters, decreased as the amount of DHA consumption increased and the amount of DHA consumption was not associated with other metabolic risk.
