Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. Lipid profile and anthropometric measurements might differ for patients with MS and healthy people. This study aimed to compare the lipid profiles and anthropometric measurements of patients with MS and healthy participants. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a controlled descriptive study, consisting of 392 people (196 patients in the MS-MS group, and 196 healthy volunteers in the control group) who presented to a state hospital in Turkey. Blood samples were collected and lipid profiles (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides) were analyzed. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios were calculated, and the parameters were compared between the groups. The relationship between the parameters and the presence of MS was investigated. Results: The weights, heights, hip circumferences, waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios of the people differed statistically significantly between the groups (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of the considered lipid profiles. The difference between the BMI values of males in the control and MS groups was statistically significant (p=0.006). Conclusion: The obtained results indicate that anthropometric measurements of patients with MS differ significantly from healthy individuals, although no significant difference could be observed in terms of lipid profiles. Most of the findings of this study are consistent with the literature and suggest that the anthropometric changes in individuals should be followed regularly to prevent a possible MS risk.
Polikistik Over Sendromu etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, premenopozal kadınlarda infertilite, hirsutizm ve anovülasyonun önemli nedenlerinden biri olan sağlık sorunudur. Bu sorun doğurganlık çağındaki kadınlarda insülin direnci, Tip II Diyabet, Gestasyonel Diyabet, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, hipertansiyon, uyku apnesi ve inme gibi birçok sağlık sorununa neden olabilmektedir. Ketojenik Diyet yağ oranı yüksek, karbonhidrat oranı düşük olan ve yeterli protein ile enerji içeren bir beslenme türüdür. Ketojenik Diyet günümüzde obezite, epilepsi, kanser gibi hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı Polikistik Over Sendromu' nda Ketojenik Diyetin etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmalarda Ketojenik Diyetin Polikistik Over Sendromu' nun tedavisinde farmakolojik olmayan değerli bir tedavi olabileceği görülmüş olup, doğru sonuç alabilmek için geniş çaplı uzun süreli insan çalışmalarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
