[Changes in the active body-mass ratio (fatty mass) in hyperlipoproteinemias as affected by a combined dietetic regimen].

Ninety nine patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) were examined--type IIA--48; type IIB--36 and type IV--15. The patients were put, in the course of 25 days, on a combined dietetic regimen, including fruit foodstuffs, enriched with high-esterified pectin, soy-bean meal and skimmed yoghourt "Vita". The patients with type IIA HLP have almost a normal body mass (BM) and the body composition is not substantially changed under the treatment effect, whereas in the patients with type IIB HLP--a considerable lipid mass (LP) was found with rather low relative BM. The patients with type IV HLP are with the highest relative BM and the most pronounced reduction resulting from the treatment. The combined dietetic regimen leads to favourable changes in the body composition in patients with HLP types IIB and IV--reduction of LP and increase of the ratio active BM/LM.
