Abstract
During the first quarter of 2022, the hospital admissions in Mexico registered 6,575 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D), more than 61% had not received nutritional care, and in addition, 55% of the cases suffered from hypertension blood pressure and more than 14% had obesity. Clinical complications associated to a poor control of T2D were visual disability, and motor disability. It has been recognized the appearance and development of diabetes and its complications have genetic components. However, this genetic factor interacts by the presence of other environmental risk factors, such as eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. Household members can share eating patterns, but can differ from patients diagnosed with T2D due to learning from health personnel on healthy habits.
Therefore, it is expected differences in eating habits compared with direct relative. Sabotage from relatives has been described when families stress patients on mantain inadequate eating patterns.
In this study, we will record food preferences patterns (frequency and quantity of food consumption) from patients with T2D attending CEDIAMET clinic, and patters obtained from their first degree relatives (Parents, Brothers, or Children) with no T2D diagnosis. In the same way, weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), fat percentage, waist, hip, and neck circumferences will be contrasted. Eating patterns and frequency of consumption were evaluated through a validated questionnaire from the Study on the Urban Border for Diseases and Factors Associated with Obesity (ESFUERSO).
Currently, no studies have been carried out that describe the eating patterns of a patient diagnosed with DM2, compared with the eating patterns of their direct relatives without a diagnosis. When comparing these eating patterns, the patient diagnosed with DM2 is expected to have better-eating patterns, compared to their relatives who do not have a diagnosis of DM2.
