Abstract

Background and aims

Our hypothesis in this study was to investigate whether there is an association between metabolic risk parameters and the MEDFICTS score (meat, eggs, dairy products, fried foods, fats in bakery products, convenience foods, added fats at table and snacks) and tinnitus severity in adults.

Methods

This descriptive study was conducted with 331 adults aged 19–64. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using data collection forms consisting of the Tinnitus Disability Questionnaire, MEDFICTS Dietary Assessment Questionnaire, metabolic risk parameters, and anthropometric measurements. Descriptive statistics, Student's t-test, and simple and multivariate linear regression analysis were applied to data analysis. The significance level of statistical tests was accepted as P < 0.05.

Results

The mean waist circumference (WC), fasting blood glucose, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Triglyceride (TG), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) were 89.30 ± 13.42 cm, 96.14 ± 17.62 mg/dL, 52.34 ± 11.43 mg/dL, 127.82 ± 48.54 mg/dL, 121.29 ± 12.90 mm/Hg and 73.49 ± 9.34 mm/Hg, respectively. The mean MEDFICTS score was 78.08 ± 26.04 and 59.8% of the individuals needed dietary changes for heart health. The mean Tinnitus Disability Questionnaire total score was 40.17 ± 22.14. 2.4% had moderate tinnitus and 1.5% had severe tinnitus. Fasting blood glucose (β: 0.524, P < 0.05) and MEDFICTS score (β: 0.459, P < 0.05) were positively associated with tinnitus severity, 24% of the change in tinnitus severity was explained by fasting blood glucose, and 17% by MEDFICTS score.

Conclusion

Increased fasting blood glucose and increased dietary intake of foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol are associated with increased tinnitus severity.

代谢风险参数和MEDFICTS评分与成人耳鸣严重程度相关吗？

背景与目的本研究的假设是调查代谢风险参数与MEDFICTS评分（肉类、鸡蛋、乳制品、油炸食品、烘焙食品中的脂肪、方便食品中的脂肪、餐桌和零食中的添加脂肪）和成人耳鸣严重程度之间是否存在关联。方法对331名19-64岁成人进行描述性研究。通过面对面访谈收集数据，数据收集表格包括耳鸣残疾问卷、MEDFICTS饮食评估问卷、代谢风险参数和人体测量。数据分析采用描述性统计、学生t检验和简单多元线性回归分析。统计学检验的显著性水平采用P <；0.05.结果平均腰围（WC）、空腹血糖、高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、甘油三酯（TG）、收缩压（SBP）、舒张压（DBP）分别为89.30±13.42 cm、96.14±17.62 mg/dL、52.34±11.43 mg/dL、127.82±48.54 mg/dL、121.29±12.90 mm/Hg和73.49±9.34 mm/Hg。MEDFICTS平均得分为78.08±26.04,59.8%的个体需要改变饮食以保持心脏健康。耳鸣残疾问卷的平均总分为40.17±22.14分。中度耳鸣2.4%，重度耳鸣1.5%。空腹血糖(β: 0.524, P <；0.05)和MEDFICTS评分(β: 0.459, P <；0.05)与耳鸣严重程度呈正相关，24%的耳鸣严重程度变化与空腹血糖有关，17%与MEDFICTS评分有关。结论空腹血糖升高、高饱和脂肪和高胆固醇食物摄入增加与耳鸣严重程度增加有关。

期刊介绍： Nutrition Clinique et Métabolisme is the journal of the French-speaking Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition. Associating clinicians, biologists, pharmacists, and fundamentalists, the articles presented in the journal concern man and animals, and deal with organs and cells. The goal is a better understanding of the effects of artificial nutrition and human metabolism. Original articles, general reviews, update articles, technical notes and communications are published, as well as editorials and case reports.
