Abstract

Aims: To assess their nutritional status, food consumption frequency, and 24-hour dietary recall in patients with severe and very severe hypertriglyceridemia at the Department of Diabetes Endocrinology, Bach Mai Hospital.


Methods: A cross-sectional study of 63 patients with serum triglyceride concentration of 5.6 mmol/l or higher from February 2023 to July 2024.


Results: The participants were male (69.1%), under 60 years old (85.7%), and had diabetes (55.6%). The mean serum triglyceride concentration was 29.4 mmol/l, most of the patients had increased triglycerides ≥ 11.3 mmol/l (95.2%). 55.5% of the patients were overweight and obese, the group with TG ≥ 11.3mmol was more overweight and obese than the group with TG< 11.3mmol/l (p>0.05). The majority of the patients had central obesity (95.2% had a high waist-to-hip ratio). The frequency of weekly and daily consumption of alcohol, sweets, fatty meat, animal organs, and processed foods was quite high. The serum TG concentration of these patients also tended to be higher than those who ate less. The ratio of dietary lipid intake was high, participants with higher TG tended to eat more fat. Dietary fiber was low.


Conclusion: Overweight and obesity and the frequency of weekly and daily consumption of alcohol, sweets, fatty meat, animal organs, and processed foods were quite high in people with severe and very severe hypertriglyceridemia.
