Summary

There is no study that has investigated the effects of medical nutrition therapy and more frequent follow-up via telehealth on metabolic syndrome parameters in patients with MetS who have multiple metabolic disorders such as being overweight, prediabetic/diabetic, dyslipidemic and having increased blood pressure. This study was conducted to examine the effects of medical nutrition therapy and increased follow-up via telephone calls on MetS-related parameters in individuals with MetS.

Conditions

• Metabolic Syndrome
• Metabolic Syndrome Obesity
• Metabolic Syndrome Parameters

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dietary counseling	This intervention uniquely focuses on the frequency of dietitian-led follow-up visits and their impact on metabolic syndrome-related parameters. The study includes three distinct groups with varying levels of follow-up intensity (control, intervention, and intensive intervention).
OTHER	calling via telephone	The intensive intervention group involves weekly diet adherence assessments via phone calls, setting it apart from other studies that typically rely on less frequent or standardized follow-up schedules. This design allows for the evaluation of how consultation frequency influences outcomes such as weight loss, blood sugar levels, lipid profile, and metabolic syndrome components."
