“…In Iran, the study conducted by Sangsefidi et al ( 30 ) demonstrated a significant relationship between a low-carbohydrate diet and low HDL-C levels in all participants. Similarly, a study by Mousavi et al ( 34 ) in Iran showed that a low-carbohydrate diet significantly reduced serum triglycerides and increased HDL-C levels.…”

“…In line with the results of the present study, Cucuzzella et al ( 33 ) indicated that a low-carbohydrate diet led to weight loss and waist circumference reduction, decreased hunger, and increased energy levels. Mousavi et al ( 34 ) also demonstrated that a low-carbohydrate diet significantly reduced weight, BMI and waist circumference. In this study, alongside the parameters previously mentioned, researchers also observed a reduction in hip circumference following the intervention, a contrast to our study’s findings.…”

IntroductionMetabolic syndrome is a global health concern. It is a condition that includes a cluster of various risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This quasi-experimental study investigates the effect of a nurse-led low-carbohydrate regimen on anthropometric and laboratory parameters in metabolic syndrome patients.MethodsThe study used a quasi-experimental design conducted at the University of Mosul; 128 participants meeting the metabolic syndrome criteria were recruited and divided into the intervention and control groups. The intervention group received personalized counseling and support in implementing a low-carb regime, while the control group received standard advice. The study participants were assessed by anthropometry, and laboratory parameters were evaluated pre- and post-intervention. Statistical data analysis was conducted using IBM-SPSS 27, including chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, t-tests, and the Mcnemar test, which were performed to compare the changes within and between groups.ResultsThe mean age of the participants in the intervention and control groups was 50.72 ± 6.43 years and 49.14 ± 6.89 years, respectively. Compared to the control group, the intervention group experienced a significant positive reduction in anthropometric measures and laboratory parameters, including weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, lipid profiles, and HbA1c.ConclusionA tangible effect of nurse-led interventions based on low-carbohydrate regimens in managing metabolic syndrome was empirically authenticated. Positive changes were observed in the intervention group regarding anthropometric measures and laboratory parameters. However, future research may require a larger sample size and a longer follow-up to confirm these effects and evaluate long-term metabolic impacts.
