Abstract

Background: Over the last decade (2014–2024), the global prevalence of metabolic risk
factors such as dyslipidemia (5-8%), hypertension (5-10%), obesity (10-15%) and
elevated blood glucose levels (10-15%) has been steadily increasing.
Objectives: To determine the correlation among the dietary consumption, lifestyle
factors, and metabolic risk factors among the respondent of age 18-65 years.
Methods: The respondent (n=419) were enrolled from August 2023 to February 2024 in
Coimbatore, India. The sociodemographic characteristics, dietary intake, stress levels,
and physical activity were measured using questionnaires. The respondent’s
anthropometry, HbA1c level, blood pressure, and liver function tests were examined,
and those with abnormal liver enzymes underwent abdominal ultrasonography for fatty
liver diagnosis. The descriptive, Chi square and Kendall’s tau correlation coefficient were
performed for statistical analysis.
Results: This research showed a weak correlation among protein intake of the
respondent and obesity (r=0.084 and p-value=0.026). A significant association was
observed among blood pressure range and the consumption of fat (r=0.079, p
value=0.039), protein (r=0.158, p-value<0.001). Correspondingly, the intake of nutrient
such as energy (r=0.102, p-value<0.001), carbohydrate (r=0.089, p-value<0.001), and fat
(r=0.156, p-value<0.001) was positively correlated with an increased hyperglycaemic
risk. Further, energy (r=0.202, p-value<0.001), carbohydrate (r=0.146, p-value<0.001)
consumption level had positive correlation with fatty liver disease.
Conclusions: A significant positive correlation as observed between and metabolic risk
factors and dietary intake. Modifying the interventions to target these risk factors may
aid lower the risk of hypertension, obesity, hyperglycaemia, and fatty liver disease in
diverse inhabitants.
