Abstract

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are two important health problems that have increased in incidence in recent years in all around world. Stone occurrence and recurrence risks are increased in these diseases. Apart from general dietary recommendations for stone patients, metabolic evaluation and personalized dietary recommendations are important in these patients. Achieving a normal BMI also reduces the risks of stone occurrence and recurrence. In these patients, the Mediterranean diet and DASH diet, in which the lower animal protein intake and the higher consumption of vegetables and fruits, can be considered as suitable options in the diets to be applied to lose weight.
