Evaluation of the relationship between daily food consumption record and anthropometric measurements in women with metabolic syndrome and hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism occurs when the production and secretion of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormones decreases and cause blood TSH level to increase. This study was conducted to determine the correlatation between daily food consumption and anthropometric measurement. The study was carried on 76 hypothyroidic female that are diagnosed to have metabolic syndrome. To these selected patients to determine the personal and disease information a questionnarie form is applied. The anthropometric values were taken and the frequency of food consumption was determined by 3-day food consumption record and food consumption form by indicating the portions.The avarage body weight of the patients was 85.21±7.82 kg, body fat mass was 32.70±8.45 kg, body fat percentage was 39.23±6.43 %, muscle mass was 41.64±6.54 kg, body muscle mass percentage was 51.92±5.48 %, waist circumference 90.61±7.86 cm, hip circumference 108.9±9.16 cm, waist/hip ratio was 0.832±5.82 and BMI was 31.12±4.13 kg/m2 .When BMI grouping is done and nutrient intake according to the groups is evaluated in terms of statistical difference; the difference between energy, protein, protein percentage, carbohydrate, carbohydrate percentage, fat, fat percentage, cholesterol and fiber values were significant (p<0.05).
