Specific patterns of food consumption and preparation are associated with

diabetes and obesity in a native Canadian community

Language: English

Abstract: ...We examined the relationship between usual patterns of food

intake, fattiness of food preparation and consumption, and diabetes and

obesity status in a Native Canadian reserve in northwestern Ontario.

Patterns of intake were estimated using a 34-item food frequency

instrument. Scales and scores were developed using factor analysis

procedures and were tested for reliability using coefficient alpha.

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes status was determined by

administering a 75-g glucose tolerance test. A number of the food groups

appear to have a protective effect in regard to IGT and diabetes,

including vegetables [odds ratio (OR) = 0.41, confidence interval (CI) =

0.18-0.91], breakfast foods (OR = 0.41, CI = 0.18-0.93) and hot meal foods

(OR = 0.29, CI = 0.11-0.78). Most of these foods are relatively high in

fiber and low in fat. High consumption of junk foods and the bread and

butter group was associated with substantial increases in risk for

diabetes (OR = 2.40, CI = 1 ...

Physical activity and physical fitness in African-American girls with and

without obesity

ARN: US1997074179

Journal Title: Obesity research (USA)

Date of publication: Nov 1997

Submission Date: 1998

Language: English

Abstract: Lack of physical activity and low levels of physical fitness are

thought to be contributing factors to the high prevalence of obesity in

African-American girls. To examine this hypothesis, we compared habitual

physical activity and physical fitness in 54 African-American girls with

obesity and 96 African-American girls without obesity residing in rural

South Carolina. Participation in vigorous (greater than or equal to 6

METs) (VPA) or moderate and vigorous physical activity (greater than or

equal to 4 METs) (MVPA) was assessed on three consecutive days using the

Previous Day Physical Activity Recall. Cardiorespiratory fitness was

assessed using the PWC 170 cycle ergometer test. Upper body strength was

determined at two sites via isometric cable tensiometer tests. Relative to

their counterparts without obesity, girls with obesity reported

significantly fewer 30-minute blocks of VPA (0.90 +/- 0.14) vs. 1.3 +/-

0.14 and MVPA (1.2 +/- 0.18 vs. 1.7 +/- 0.16) (p 0.01). Within the entire
