A dietary pattern is the measurement of the quantity, variety, or combination of different foods and beverages in a diet as well as the frequency of the foods that are habitually consumed.
The most common dietary patterns are
* The traditional diet, Wikipedia wrote, "Traditional foods are foods and dishes that are passed through generations or which have been consumed many generations. Traditional foods and dishes are traditional in nature, and may have a historic precedent in a national dish, regional cuisine or local cuisine".
* The Western diet is a standard American diet (SAD) associated with high intakes of red meat, processed meat, pre-packaged and refined foods, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, and high salt, and sugar foods.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The health problems found in the group include too much fat around the waist, elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol.
In other words, if you have 3 of the conditions in the group, your risk of CVD and diabetes is increased substantially compared to those who have less.
According to the statistics, approximately 30% of people in the US are living with metabolic syndrome.
Believe it or not, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012, increasing from 25.3% to 34.2%.
Besides the aforementioned conditions, risks of metabolic syndrome may include age, family history, physical, inactivity, and women with polycystic ovary syndrome, epidemiologically.
As of today, treatment of metabolic syndrome commonly is prescribed medications to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and/or blood sugar with an aim to reduce the risk of developing further health complications and improve quality of life.
In finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, researchers investigated the association between major dietary patterns, including several eating habits.
The cross-sectional study included a total of 425 subjects 35 to 55 years of age, using a food-frequency questionnaire in 5 dietary patterns.
Five major dietary patterns were examined by the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, including
* A Western pattern (high in sweets, butter, soda, mayonnaise, sugar, cookies, the tail of a lamb, hydrogenated fat, and eggs),
* A prudent pattern (high in fish, peas, honey, nuts, juice, dry fruits, vegetable oil, liver and organic meat, and coconuts and low in hydrogenated fat and non-leafy vegetables),
* A vegetarian pattern (high in potatoes, legumes, fruits rich in vitamin C, rice, green leafy vegetables, and fruits rich in vitamin A),
* A high-fat dairy pattern (high in high-fat yogurt and high-fat milk and low in low-fat yogurt, peas, and bread), and
* A chicken and plant pattern (high in chicken, fruits rich in vitamin A, green leafy vegetables, and mayonnaise and low in beef, liver, and organic meat).
Based on the tested differentiation and adjusting to other confounders,
* The Western pattern has a strong and negative impact on increasing triacylglycerol and blood pressure.
* The prudent pattern was positively associated a low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels comapred to other dietary patterns.
* However, the vegetarian dietary pattern was inversely associated with a risk of an abnormal fasting blood glucose level.
Collectively, all dietary patterns are associated with positive or negative in increasing or decreasing the risk of metabolic syndrome.
