To examine the association between dietary patterns, behaviors and the prevalence of familial obesity.
Eighty three families, shared as volunteers comprised of 83 mothers and 155 offspring. Anthropometric measurements were reported including height and weight. Body mass index (BMI), weight/height, and weight/height Z score were calculated. Pattern of food intake was obtained by means of dietary interview consisting of a 24 hour recall, and a food frequency questionnaire.
Data revealed that obesity was high among mothers reached 91.6% while obesity in the offspring was 24.5%. According to prevalence of obesity, families were divided to 4 groups, 8.43% of families were of normal weight, and 20.48% were obese. Food frequency consumption rate and food analysis revealed unhealthy food intake, especially in obese families. All groups reported high rate intake of sweets, pastries and beverage. Calories, carbohydrate, cholesterol and sodium were higher than the RDA in all mother's groups, and adolescent group (2) compared to low daily intake of micronutrients especially calcium and vitamin D in all groups. More than half of all mothers and offspring skipped breakfast.
Results of this study suggest that familial obesity increases the risk of offspring being obese, dietary habits might be involved in the development of obesity.
研究饮食模式、行为与家族性肥胖患病率之间的关联。
83个家庭作为志愿者参与研究，包括83名母亲和155名后代。报告了人体测量数据，包括身高和体重。计算了体重指数（BMI）、体重/身高以及体重/身高Z评分。通过饮食访谈获取食物摄入模式，包括24小时回顾法和食物频率问卷。
数据显示母亲中的肥胖率较高，达到91.6%，而后代中的肥胖率为24.5%。根据肥胖患病率，家庭被分为4组，8.43%的家庭体重正常，20.48%的家庭肥胖。食物频率消费率和食物分析显示存在不健康的食物摄入，尤其是在肥胖家庭中。所有组均报告甜食、糕点和饮料的摄入量较高。所有母亲组和青少年组（2）的卡路里、碳水化合物、胆固醇和钠摄入量均高于推荐膳食摄入量（RDA），而所有组的微量营养素每日摄入量较低，尤其是钙和维生素D。超过一半的母亲和后代不吃早餐。
本研究结果表明家族性肥胖会增加后代肥胖的风险，饮食习惯可能与肥胖的发生有关。
