In these patients on the basis of results of clinical and laboratory-instrumental examinations there was revealed metabolic syndrome, but on the basis of the microbiological examination of feces there was established intestinal dysbiosis of the 1-2 grades. The nutrition was studied by means of questionnaire-ballot method, and with the use of computer software «Analysis of the state of Human Nutrition» (version by Institute of Nutrition, 1.2.4. - 2003-2006).

All patients were included in the study on the base of the principle of informed consent and all of them gave written consent. Results. The caloric content of the daily average diets of patients with metabolic syndrome and intestinal dysbiosis exceeds in an average the physiological norm by 930 calories. Nutrient composition of diets of men and women have the same features: in compared with the daily requirement there was excessive content of fat, NLC, cholesterol, protein, sodium, phosphorus deficiency of dietary fiber, vitamins A and B2, magnesium, starch. Conclusion. The structure of food packages, caloric content and nutrient composition of the diet of patients with metabolic syndrome and intestinal dysbiosis seem to be unbalanced and cannot serve to purposes of the prevention and treatment of this disease.
