Diet high in empty calories increases risk of becoming overweight.
2002 DEC 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- by Maria G. Essig, MS, ELS, senior medical writer - Information coming out of the Framingham Nutrition Studies indicates that identifying dietary patterns may aid development of effective weight management strategies.
Paula A. Quatromoni, at Boston University, and colleagues involved in the Framingham Nutrition Study analyzed data from 737 women participants who were not overweight at entrance into the study. The investigators identified five major dietary patterns among the women: Heart Healthy, Light Eating, Wine and Moderate Eating, High Fat, and Empty Calorie.
At the 12-year follow-up, 29% of the women were overweight. Women whose diet fell into the Empty Calorie category were the most likely (41%) to be overweight, while those in the Wine and Moderate Eating category were least likely (22%) to be overweight.
In comparison to participants who followed the Heart Healthy diet, the women with the Empty Calorie diet, high in sweets and fats, were 1.4 times more likely to become overweight, even after adjusting for age, smoking behavior, exercise level, menopausal status, and total caloric intake. Smoking was more common among women who ate an Empty Calorie diet.
