Abstract

Dietary adherence (DA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) helps improve clinical parameters and enhance the patient’s quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a medical university hospital in Vietnam on 410 type 2 diabetes patients to evaluate dietary adherence and its barriers. DA was assessed using the Perceived Dietary Adherence Questionnaire (PDAQ). Out of the total 410 patients, the proportion of female patients was 60.2%, and the average age of patients was 66.08 ± 8.72 years old. Only 16.3% of patients adhered to the diet. Multivariate regression analysis showed that factors such as medication adherence (AOR= 3.44, 95%CI: 1.50-7.93), good glycemic control (AOR= 2.13, 95%CI: 1.17-3.87), and patients receiving monthly dietary counseling (AOR= 3.01, 95%CI: 1.63-5.55) were statistically significantly related to DA. Clinicians should consider these factors when advising patients on DA.
