Reduced oxidation of fat leading to a positive balance could be factor in the development obesity. Twenty-four-hour respiratory quotient (RQ) was measured 152 nondiabetic Pima Indians fed weight-maintenance diet [87 males and 65 females; 27 +/- 6 yr (mean SD); 93.9 22.9 kg; 32 9% fat]. RQ varied from 0.799 0.903. Prior change body weight, 24-h energy balance, sex, percent explained 18% variance (P less than 0.001). In subgroup 66 siblings 28 families, family membership 28% remaining 0.05)....
Impaired glucose tolerance often presages the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. We have studied insulin action and secretion in 24 Pima Indians before after impaired 254 other subjects representing whole spectrum tolerance, including with overt diabetes. The transition from normal to was associated a decrease uptake during hyperinsulinemia, 0.018 0.016 mmol per minute (from 3.3 2.8 mg kilogram fat-free body mass minute) (P less than 0.0003). Mean plasma concentrations...
Recent population dietary studies indicate that diets rich in ultra-processed foods, increasingly frequent worldwide, are grossly nutritionally unbalanced, suggesting the contribution of these foods largely determines overall nutritional quality contemporaneous diets. Yet, have focused on individual nutrients (one at a time) rather than Here we investigate relationship between energy US diet and its content critical nutrients, individually overall. We evaluated intakes 9,317 participants...
Objectives A number of cross-sectional and prospective studies have now been published demonstrating inverse relationships between diet quality the common mental disorders in adults. However, there are no existing this association adolescents, onset period most disorders, limiting inferences regarding possible causal relationships. Methods In study, 3040 Australian aged 11–18 years at baseline, were measured 2005–6 2007–8. Information on health was collected by self-report anthropometric...
Front-of-pack 'traffic-light' nutrition labelling has been widely proposed as a tool to improve public health nutrition.This study examined changes consumer food purchases after the introduction of traffic-light labels with aim assessing impact on 'healthiness' foods purchased.The sales data from major UK retailer in 2007.We analysed products two categories ('ready meals' and sandwiches), investigating percentage change 4 weeks before were introduced, taking into account seasonality, product...
Summary This study evaluated global trends in ultraprocessed food and drink (UPFD) volume sales/capita associations with adult body mass index (BMI) trajectories. Total food/drink from Euromonitor for 80 countries (2002‐2016) were matched to mean BMI the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (2002‐2014). Products classified as UPFD/non‐UPFD according NOVA classification system. Mixed models repeated measures used analyse between UPFD trajectories, controlling confounding factors. The increase UPF...
Measured body weightThree major strategies were used to collect data on measured average adult weight.First, an electronic search of databases obesity prevalence and BMI was performed, including the World Health Organization's (WHO) global infobase, 14 WHO's database BMI, 15 International Association for Study Obesity (now Objective We investigated associations between changes in national food energy supply population weight.Methods collected from 24 high-, 27 middle-and 18 low-income...
