Resumo

Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo determinar o impacto de uma Dieta Cetogênica (DC) na perda de peso. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo utiliza questionários e pesquisas para coletar dados na região do Curdistão iraquiano entre outubro de 2024 e fevereiro de 2025, e utiliza lojas especializadas em dieta cetogênica e encontros presenciais para avaliar o índice de massa corporal, os níveis de obesidade e as percepções sobre a dieta cetogênica. Resultados: Para as características sociodemográficas dos indivíduos, foram utilizadas frequência e porcentagem. A consistência da perda de peso, das semanas de dieta cetogênica e dos níveis de glicose e colesterol no sangue para cada grupo de homens e mulheres foi calculada utilizando um teste t não pareado (independente) com um valor de p inferior a 0,05 para a linha de base antes e depois da dieta cetogênica para a percepção. Dos 130 participantes, 48% eram mulheres e 52% eram homens, com idades variando de 10 a 69 anos. Ambos os sexos seguiram a dieta cetogênica de forma intensa entre os 30 e 39 anos: 34,92% das mulheres e 35,82% dos homens. 35,82% dos homens e 38,10% das mulheres foram classificados como obesos de Classe 1 e Classe 2, respectivamente, com base no índice de massa corporal. Além disso, as mulheres perderam 15,3 kg em 33,1 semanas (p < 0,0001), enquanto os homens perderam em média 23,7 kg em 49,2 semanas (p < 0,001). Conclusão: A utilização da dieta cetogênica como intervenção terapêutica para obesidade, doenças relacionadas à nutrição e outros novos tratamentos pode ser respaldada por esses achados.
