The relationship between frequency of eating and adiposity was studied in a cross-sectional population of about 1000 men and 1000 women ages 35 to 69. A detailed 24-hr diet recall interview was administered by trained interviewers. Frequency of eating--eight categories--was determined by computer program using reported actual eating times and food consumed. The adiposity variable was an index using two skinfold measurements, height and weight. An analysis of covariance removing the effect of caloric intake showed that frequency of eating was related inversely to the adiposity index for men and women separately with statistical significance at the 1% level.
在一个约有1000名年龄在35至69岁之间的男性和1000名女性的横断面人群中，研究了进食频率与肥胖之间的关系。由经过培训的访谈者进行详细的24小时饮食回顾访谈。进食频率（分为八类）由计算机程序根据报告的实际进食时间和所摄入的食物来确定。肥胖变量是一个使用两项皮褶测量值、身高和体重的指数。一项去除热量摄入影响的协方差分析表明，进食频率与男性和女性的肥胖指数分别呈负相关，在1%的水平上具有统计学意义。
