The study aimed to evaluate long-term associations of dietary patterns with obesity.
By Neha MathurAug 23 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent article published in BMC Public Health, researchers analyzed China Health and Nutrition Survey data collected between 2004 and 2015.
Given its multifactorial etiology, obesity is influenced by dietary habits. However, since the relationship of diet with the development of obesity is complex, it is not fully understood. Additionally, nutritional habits vary substantially among nations, societies, and ethnicities. Examining and characterizing dietary patterns and understanding their association with obesity in a large Chinese cohort of adults could help establish the influence of diet on the risk of obesity that would be specific to Chinese society undergoing rapid social and economic development.
However, after excluding participants with missing anthropometric data, the final longitudinal dataset of the current study comprised 4,207 participants. Furthermore, the researchers used logistic regression models to determine the association between dietary patterns and obesity risk. The study outcomes were anthropometric measures, such as height, WC, weight, and BMI.
This finding, however, is controversial because some studies conducted in South Korea and Japan have associated high rice consumption with an increased risk of obesity. One explanation for this discrepancy is that rice comes in many varieties and is cooked differently in different regions worldwide.
