Energy intake and other determinants of relative weight.

摘要: The relationships ofrelative weight to energy intake and physical activity were studied among 141 females aged 34-59 y. As observed in previous studies Quetelet index (wt/ht2) was inversely related (r = -0. 1 1). However, obese women tended be older 0.16), exercise less -0.30), drink alcohol 16) than nonobese women. Older had lower -0.23) exercised 12) younger Energy positively 0.23). After adjustment for age, activity, alcohol, smoking, the inverse correlation between relative significantly reduced (p 0.04) from r -0.02. Obese reported higher intakes oftotal fat, correlated with of total fat 0.20) saturated fatty acids 0. 16). These data highlight importance considering factors that may confound relationship obesity, they suggest play a role obesity is independent intake. Am J C/in Nutr 1988;47:406-12.
