There is not any diet recommended for Hashimoto's disease, despite that those patients are often undernourished. Because of the high heterogeneity of Hashimoto's patients, insight into dietary patterns might shed some light on the patient-tailored dietary approach, thus improving their treatment and helping to identify patients with the highest probability of particular nutritional deficiencies. The aim of this study was to identify Hashimoto's patients' dietary patterns and their characterization based on both socio-demographic variables and dietary self-assessment. We collected data online from patients with Hashimoto's disease. The questionnaire formula used in the study was developed based on a validated food frequency questionnaire KomPAN. K-means pattern analyses were used to characterize patients into patterns based on the frequency of particular types of foods consumption and socio-demographic factors. Four patterns were identified. We labeled them as 'Convenient', 'Non-meat', 'Pro-healthy', and 'Carnivores' with participants proportions at approximately one-fourth per each pattern. The patients were mainly of the female gender (94.08%), with a female: male ratio of 15.9. Hashimoto's patients differed in their food product choices, food choice motives, dieting experience, nutritional knowledge, smoking habits, food allergies and intolerances, and lipid disorders, and thus represent different eating patterns. However, these patterns were not determined by comorbidities or the majority of ailments.
对于桥本氏病，没有推荐的饮食方案，尽管此类患者往往营养不足。由于桥本氏病患者的高度异质性，深入了解饮食模式可能有助于针对患者的饮食方法，从而改善他们的治疗效果，并有助于确定最有可能出现特定营养缺乏症的患者。本研究的目的是确定桥本氏病患者的饮食模式，并根据社会人口统计学变量和饮食自我评估对其进行特征描述。我们在线收集了桥本氏病患者的数据。研究中使用的问卷公式是基于经过验证的 KomPAN 食物频率问卷制定的。使用 K 均值模式分析根据特定类型食物消费的频率和社会人口统计学因素对患者进行模式特征描述。确定了四种模式。我们将其标记为“方便”、“非肉类”、“健康促进”和“肉食者”，每个模式的参与者比例约为四分之一。患者主要为女性（94.08%），女性与男性的比例为 15.9。桥本氏病患者在食品选择、食品选择动机、节食经验、营养知识、吸烟习惯、食物过敏和不耐受以及血脂紊乱方面存在差异，因此代表不同的饮食模式。然而，这些模式并非由合并症或大多数疾病决定。
