The Relationship of DASH and Mediterranean Diet Score With Serum Adiponectin Levels in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury

Adiponectin level,DASH diet score,Mediterrenian diet score

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship of DASH and Mediterranean diet score with
 anthropometric measurements and serum adiponectin level in individuals with spinal cord
 injury. This research was planned as a cross-sectional, case-control study. With the data to
 be obtained from the research, information will be obtained about the hormonal or biochemical
 basis of metabolic disorders such as atherosclerosis and insulin resistance that may occur in
 individuals with spinal cord injury in the long term.
 
 20 individuals with Spinal Cord Injury will be included in the study, and the results of the
 patients will be compared with 20 healthy individuals. In order to determine the food
 consumption status of the patients, a 1-day food consumption record will be requested. DASH
 diet score and Mediterranean diet score will be calculated from dietary records. After 8
 hours of fasting, 3 ml of peripheral blood will be taken for the measurement of adiponectin
 between 08:00 and 09:00 in the morning from the individuals in the study and control groups.
 Adiponectin level will be measured and its correlation with DASH diet score and Mediterranean
 diet score will be examined.
