Resumen

Objetivo: Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar el impacto de una Dieta Cetogénica (DC) en la pérdida de peso. Material y métodos: El estudio utiliza cuestionarios y encuestas para recopilar datos en la región del Kurdistán iraquí entre octubre de 2024 y febrero de 2025, y utiliza tiendas de dieta cetogénica y encuentros personales para evaluar el índice de masa corporal, los niveles de obesidad y las percepciones de la dieta cetogénica. Resultados: Para las características sociodemográficas de los individuos, se emplearon frecuencia y porcentaje. La consistencia de la pérdida de peso, semanas de dieta keto y niveles de glucosa y colesterol en sangre para cada grupo de hombres y mujeres se calculó utilizando una prueba T no pareada (independiente) con un valor P menor a 0,05 para la línea base antes y después de la dieta keto para la percepción. De los 130 participantes, el 48% eran mujeres y el 52% eran hombres, y su edad oscilaba entre los 10 y los 69 años. Ambos sexos seguían intensamente la dieta keto entre los 30 y los 39 años: el 34,92% de las mujeres y el 35,82% de los hombres. El 35,82% de los hombres y el 38,10% de las mujeres se clasificaron como obesos de Clase 1 y Clase 2, respectivamente, según el índice de masa corporal. Además, las mujeres perdieron 15,3 kg en 33,1 semanas (p < 0,0001), mientras que los hombres perdieron una media de 23,7 kg en 49,2 semanas (p < 0,001). Conclusión: Estos hallazgos pueden respaldar la utilización de la DC como intervención terapéutica para la obesidad, enfermedades relacionadas con la nutrición y otros tratamientos nuevos.
