Does Mr. Kim meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome? Explain how the nutrition interventions for NAFLD will help with the components of this condition
What will be an ideal response?
• Metabolic syndrome? - Yes - fasting blood glucose ? 100 mg/dL (121 mg/dL), triglycerides ? 150 mg/dL (350 mg/dL), blood pressure ?130/?85 mmHg (142/86 mmHg)
• Meeting 3 of the 5 criteria is diagnostic for metabolic syndrome (the other criteria is an HDL < 40 mg/dL and a waist circumference > 40 in (102 cm) for men)
• Nutrition intervention crossover:
- Weight loss (lowers blood pressure and insulin resistance)
- Alcohol cessation (lowers blood pressure)
- Increase in antioxidants (help reduce inflammation associated with insulin resistance and prevent atherosclerotic plaques associated with oxidized LDL)
- Increase in fiber content (reduce hyperlipidema - cholesterol and LDL levels)
- Physical activity for weight loss (increase HDL and insulin sensitivity)
- Overall treatment of NAFLD may reduce the elevated triglyceride production associated with NAFLD
