Abstract

Obesity is a multifactorial disease that leads to the development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The use of a Multifrequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (MF-BIA) device is necessary in the management and monitoring of a patient with obesity. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman, with a diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and grade 1 obesity. The intervention was with medical nutrition therapy. The patient achieved a reduction in her body weight, at the expense of fat mass, while preserving her muscle mass. The monitoring was with a MF-BIA because it is an accurate tool that will allow us to make timely adjustments in treatment if necessary.
