Obesity is an increasing problem that can lead to noncommunicable diseases. The role of dietary factors on one's obesity is confirmed in many studies. One nutritional approach that can be used for assessment of the foods and diets is the Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ). Our study is aimed at exploring the association between INQ and obesity. Our hypothesis is that enriched and high-quality diets reduce the risk of overweight or obesity. This study was carried out on 6248 overweight and obese participants, from whom 4356 (69.7%) and 1892 (30.3%) were overweight and obese, respectively. To assess the dietary intake for the participants, a valid food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with 130 food items was utilized. The analysis revealed an inverse association between the overweight and the INQ of iron, thiamin, riboflavin, B6, folate, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C and E. For the obese group, this inverse association was found for iron, B6, folate, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C and E. These results approved our hypothesis that a rich nutrition diet may lead to a lower risk of obesity.
肥胖是一个日益严重的问题,可能导致非传染性疾病。许多研究证实了饮食因素对肥胖的影响。一种可以用于评估食物和饮食的营养方法是营养质量指数(INQ)。我们的研究旨在探索 INQ 与肥胖之间的关系。我们的假设是,丰富和高质量的饮食可以降低超重或肥胖的风险。这项研究共纳入了 6248 名超重和肥胖参与者,其中 4356 名(69.7%)和 1892 名(30.3%)分别为超重和肥胖。为了评估参与者的饮食摄入情况,我们使用了一份包含 130 种食物的有效食物频率问卷(FFQ)。分析结果显示,超重者的 INQ 与铁、硫胺素、核黄素、B6、叶酸、锌、镁、钙和维生素 C、E 呈负相关。对于肥胖组,这种负相关关系在铁、B6、叶酸、锌、镁、钙和维生素 C、E 中也存在。这些结果证实了我们的假设,即丰富的营养饮食可能会降低肥胖的风险。
