This study evaluated the association of frequency of potato and rice consumption with cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents.
This nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted on 14,400 children and adolescents. Fasting blood was obtained from a sub-sample of 4200 randomly selected students. Physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted under standard protocols. Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) was defined based on the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for the pediatric age group. The self-reported frequency consumption of white rice and potato was reported on a daily or non-daily basis.
The participation rate for the whole study and for blood sampling were 99 and 91.5%, respectively. Overall, 49.4% of the participants were girls while 50.6% were boys. The frequency of daily consumption of white rice and potato was 84.4 and 21.3%, respectively. In the multivariable linear regression model, daily consumption of potato increased body mass index (β: 0.05, SE: 0.20, p = 0.010), waist (β: 0.63, SE: 0.24, p = 0.008), and hip circumferences (β: 0.62, SE: 0.26, p = 0.019). Moreover, in the multivariable logistic regression, daily consumption of potato was significantly associated with an increased risk of overweight (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39, P = 0.012). The potato and rice consumption had no statistically significant association with other cardiometabolic risk factors.
Daily consumption of potato was significantly associated with higher anthropometric measures, whereas rice consumption had no statistically significant association with cardiometabolic risk factors. Future research to examine the possible obesogenic effects of intake of potato on children and adolescents is recommended.
本研究评估了儿童和青少年食用土豆和米饭的频率与心血管代谢危险因素之间的关系。
本全国性横断面研究纳入了 14400 名儿童和青少年。从随机抽取的 4200 名学生中抽取空腹血样。按照标准方案进行体格检查和实验室检查。代谢综合征（Mets）根据适用于儿科年龄组的成人治疗小组 III 标准进行定义。通过每日或非每日报告来自我报告白米饭和土豆的频率消耗。
整个研究和血液采样的参与率分别为 99%和 91.5%。总体而言，49.4%的参与者为女孩，50.6%为男孩。每日食用白米饭和土豆的频率分别为 84.4%和 21.3%。在多变量线性回归模型中，土豆的每日食用量增加了体重指数（β：0.05，SE：0.20，p=0.010）、腰围（β：0.63，SE：0.24，p=0.008）和臀围（β：0.62，SE：0.26，p=0.019）。此外，在多变量逻辑回归中，土豆的每日食用量与超重的风险增加显著相关（OR：1.21，95%CI：1.04-1.39，P=0.012）。土豆和米饭的摄入量与其他心血管代谢危险因素无统计学显著关联。
土豆的每日食用量与更高的人体测量指标显著相关，而米饭的摄入量与心血管代谢危险因素无统计学显著关联。建议进一步研究摄入土豆对儿童和青少年可能产生的肥胖效应。
