Abstract:
Excessive and unhealthy fat storage is known as obesity. Both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly encouraged in the Mediterranean diet. Obese patients at a Bandung clinic were studied to examine how the Mediterranean diet affects their BMI, waist size, fat percentage, and visceral fat. Analytical observational methods utilizing prospective cohort observations were employed. A systematic random sample technique was used to carry out the sampling. Participants were 34 overweight individuals who had twelve monthly food pattern assessments and two monthly examinations for body mass index (BMI), waist size, fat percentage, and visceral fat. To compare proportions between the rMED adherence groups and to look for differences in the composition of the Mediterranean diet on BMI, waist circumference, fat content, and visceral fat, we used the ANOVA test and Tuckey’s post-hoc test. In addition, the eight tenets of the Mediterranean diet were assessed using linear regression. The average age of the obese patients who followed the Mediterranean diet was 57.54 years, and 79.41% of them were female. It was found that the components of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seafood, and dairy products had a substantial impact on the body mass index of the participants, while the components of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, seeds, meat, fish, olive oil, and dairy products did not have a significant impact on the waist circumference, fat content, or visceral fat.
