Effect of ketogenic diet on biochemical and anthropometric parameters
Keywords:
Methodology, ANOVA, measurements including weightAbstract
Objective: To find out the effect of a ketogenic Diet (KD) on the biochemical and anthropometric parameters. Methodology: This experimental study was conducted at the physiology laboratory of Khyber Medical University from January 2022 to June 2022. Using non probability convenience sampling, forty-six subjects were recruited for the study following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Non-probability convenience sampling method was used. Subjects were given KD for twenty-eight days. Blood samples were collected for biochemical parameters along with anthropometric measurements on Day 1 and Day 29 of the study. Paired sample t test was used for pre- and post-trial comparison and ANOVA was used for comparison at day 0, and 29th day. Results: All the physical and chemical parameters like weight, body mass index, MUAC, biceps, Triceps, sub-scapular, waist circumference, hip circumference, fasting blood sugar, ketone level, glucose ketone index, body fat and water mass muscle mass reduced from 1st day to 29th day statically. Two parameters (height and visceral mass) show an insignificant change in results from day 1st to day 29th.
