We aimed to assess the body composition and dietary intake of female patients attending one of the Polish infertility clinics. Additionally, we evaluated if there were any relationships between dietary intake and body composition parameters.
The study involved 51 women who met the inclusion criteria. For the nutritional assessment, we used 3-day dietary records. Weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, and body composition were assessed. The participants were divided into three groups, with low (I, = 12), normal (II, = 27), and high (III, = 12) fat tissue content, and then compared in terms of dietary intake.
The lowest protein intake per kilogram of body weight was observed in group III ( < 0.001). In group I, we reported the highest consumption of plant protein in general ( = 0.03) and per kg of body weight ( < 0.001). Higher protein intake per kg body mass was associated with lower values of BMI (r = -0.681; < 0.001), fat mass (r = -0.641; < 0.001), waist-hip ratio (r = -0.391; = 0.005), and abdominal fat index (r = -0.653; < 0.001).
Our findings suggest that targeted nutritional counseling focused on optimizing protein intake and emphasizing plant-based sources may improve body composition and potentially support fertility outcomes in women undergoing infertility treatment.
我们旨在评估就诊于波兰一家不孕不育诊所的女性患者的身体成分和饮食摄入情况。此外，我们还评估了饮食摄入与身体成分参数之间是否存在任何关联。
该研究纳入了51名符合纳入标准的女性。为进行营养评估，我们采用了3天饮食记录法。对体重、身高、腰围和臀围以及身体成分进行了评估。参与者被分为三组，脂肪组织含量低（I组，n = 12）、正常（II组，n = 27）和高（III组，n = 12），然后比较其饮食摄入量。
III组观察到每千克体重的蛋白质摄入量最低（P < 0.001）。在I组中，总体上植物蛋白的摄入量最高（P = 0.03），每千克体重的植物蛋白摄入量也最高（P < 0.001）。每千克体重较高的蛋白质摄入量与较低的BMI值（r = -0.681；P < 0.001）、脂肪量（r = -0.641；P < 0.001）、腰臀比（r = -0.391；P = 0.005）和腹部脂肪指数（r = -0.653；P < 0.001）相关。
我们的研究结果表明，以优化蛋白质摄入量并强调植物性来源为重点的针对性营养咨询可能会改善身体成分，并有可能支持接受不孕治疗的女性的生育结局。
