We examined the effect of a protein (PRO, 1.14g/kg/day) or carbohydrate (CHO, ~2.2g/kg/day) focused diet (1600 kcals) combined with 10‐wks of circuit training exercise on NCEP ATP III defined metabolic syndrome (MetS).We performed a retrospective, analysis of eight completed studies in 663 women (age 46+11 y, BMI 24.3 – 62.0 kg/m2) participating in a CURVES™ exercise program. CHO and PRO diets were assigned based on a CHO preference questionnaire at baseline. Primary (MetS presence) and Secondary (summated MetS z‐scores and MetS component features) were analyzed via Chi‐Square and GLM, respectively, at baseline and follow‐up and covaried for age, study classification and respective baseline MetS component features.At study initiation XX% of our cohort presented with MetS (PRO, 49%, CHO, 42%). At follow‐up, both diets showed a similar reduction in MetS prevalence (PRO, 19% vs. CHO, 19%, P<0.04). No differences were noted for MetS‐z (PRO, ‐0.17, xx, 95% CI, low, high; CHO, ‐0.20, xx, 95%, CI) or individual component features for the PRO vs. CHO diets with the exception of DBP (mean±SD): Waist (‐0.28±0.02 vs. ‐0.28±0.025, P= 0.97) Glucose (‐0.07±0.03 vs. ‐0.08±0.04, P= 0.87), Trig (‐0.16±0.04 vs. ‐0.09±0.04, P= .20), HDL‐C (‐0.21±0.03 vs. ‐0.19±0.04, P= 0.68), Systolic BP (‐0.16±0.4 vs. ‐0.24±0.05, P= 0.26), or Diastolic BP (‐0.14±0.05 vs. ‐0.30±0.05 P= 0.02).Our findings suggest that a low calorie diet partitioned for CHO and PRO has no additive effect when combined with a structured exercise program on MetS prevalence in women.
