Brief summary
The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship of DASH and Mediterranean diet score with anthropometric measurements and serum adiponectin level in individuals with spinal cord injury. This research was planned as a cross-sectional, case-control study. With the data to be obtained from the research, information will be obtained about the hormonal or biochemical basis of metabolic disorders such as atherosclerosis and insulin resistance that may occur in individuals with spinal cord injury in the long term. 20 individuals with Spinal Cord Injury will be included in the study, and the results of the patients will be compared with 20 healthy individuals. In order to determine the food consumption status of the patients, a 1-day food consumption record will be requested. DASH diet score and Mediterranean diet score will be calculated from dietary records. After 8 hours of fasting, 3 ml of peripheral blood will be taken for the measurement of adiponectin between 08:00 and 09:00 in the morning from the individuals in the study and control groups. Adiponectin level will be measured and its correlation with DASH diet score and Mediterranean diet score will be examined.
