This study aimed to explore the correlation between dietary intake of olive oil, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC).
In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 200 participants aged 20-30 years using pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data was collected via a questionnaire, while dietary data was collected for two days using a 24-hour dietary recall. Anthropometric data such as BMI and WC were collected, and all the information was entered into the Diet Organizer software and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software for statistical analysis. The test results were assessed on the basis of a significance level of 95% ( < 0.05).
We did not find a significant difference in BMI and WC between high and low olive oil consumers. Carbohydrate intake was significantly higher among low olive oil consumers. Although high olive oil consumers had a significantly higher caloric intake, they had a similar BMI compared to low olive oil consumers.
This study provides baseline data on the intake of olive oil in a Saudi cohort aged 20-30 years. This study suggests that high olive oil intake may have a role in maintaining body weight.
本研究旨在探讨橄榄油的饮食摄入量与体重指数（BMI）和腰围（WC）之间的相关性。
在这项横断面研究中，我们使用预先确定的纳入和排除标准招募了200名年龄在20至30岁之间的参与者。通过问卷调查收集人口统计学数据，同时使用24小时饮食回顾法收集两天的饮食数据。收集诸如BMI和WC等人体测量数据，并将所有信息输入饮食管理软件和社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）进行统计分析。根据95%的显著性水平（<0.05）评估测试结果。
我们发现高橄榄油消费者和低橄榄油消费者之间的BMI和WC没有显著差异。低橄榄油消费者的碳水化合物摄入量显著更高。尽管高橄榄油消费者的热量摄入量显著更高，但与低橄榄油消费者相比，他们的BMI相似。
本研究提供了沙特阿拉伯20至30岁队列中橄榄油摄入量的基线数据。本研究表明，高橄榄油摄入量可能在维持体重方面发挥作用。
