Dietary factors in relation to weight change among men and women from two southeastern New England communities
OBJECTIVE : Dietary factors , independent of total energy , may be important in promoting obesity . We examined prospect ively the relationship between baseline diet composition and weight gain among adult men and women from southeastern New Engl and . DESIGN : The prospect i ve association of nutrient consumption and weight change was examined in a r and omly selected cohort examined four years apart . SUBJECTS : Adults aged 18 through 64 years from two communities in Southeastern New Engl and were r and omly selected for the study after being interviewed in their homes . The present investigation is based on a subgroup of 465 individuals who completed a food-frequency question naire in 1986 or 1987 and were reinterviewed four years later . STATISTICAL ANALYSES : Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the association of weight change with different nutrients and food groups after adjusting for age , smoking status , baseline body mass index , physical activity level , and total energy . RESULTS : Total energy was positively associated with weight gain and age was inversely associated with weight gain . None of the nutrients or food groups were significantly related to weight gain . CONCLUSIONS : These findings indicate that weight gain increased with increasing baseline total energy intake , particularly in the young . Future research is required to determine ways of decreasing energy intake in younger individuals
