“…In accordance with our results, when studying 1314 participants aged 20–79 years from four Spanish cities, Keller et al . ( 57 ) found that having an afternoon meal was negatively associated with central obesity (waist circumference: ≥88 cm in women and ≥102 cm in men), after adjusting for all confounders (OR=0·60; 95 % CI 0·41, 0·88; P <0·05). Nevertheless, Kong et al .…”

ObjectiveTo study the association of meal patterns and timing with central obesity to identify the best dietary strategies to deal with the increasing obesity prevalence.DesignA cross-sectional study performed on data from a representative sample of the Spanish population. Height and waist circumference were measured using standardized procedures and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was calculated. The sample was divided into those without central obesity (WHtR<0·5) and those with central obesity (WHtR≥0·5).SettingANIBES (‘Anthropometric data, macronutrients and micronutrients intake, practice of physical activity, socioeconomic data and lifestyles in Spain’) Study.SubjectsAdults aged 18–64 years (n 1655; 798 men and 857 women).ResultsA higher percentage of people ate more than four meals daily in the group without central obesity and those with central obesity more frequently skipped the mid-afternoon snack than those without. Breakfasts containing >25 % of total energy intake and lunches containing >35 % of total energy intake were associated with increased likelihood of central obesity (OR=1·874, 95 % CI 1·019, 3·448; P<0·05 and OR=1·693, 95 % CI 1·264, 2·268; P<0·001, respectively). On the contrary, mid-morning snacks and mid-afternoon snacks containing >15 % of total energy were associated with decreased likelihood of central obesity (OR=0·477, 95 % CI 0·313, 0·727; P<0·001 and OR=0·650, 95 % CI 0·453, 0·932; P<0·05, respectively). The variety of cereals, wholegrain cereals and dairy was higher in the population without central obesity.ConclusionsOur results suggest that ‘what and when we eat’ should be considered dietary strategies to reduce central obesity.

“…Two-thirds of them had regular diet, less than half of them had a high intake of salt and more than 80 % of the participants had breakfast every day. Studies exploring the association between meal intake habit and abdominal obesity in four Spanish cities reported that having breakfast did not show any association with abdominal obesity, but the individuals who did not eat dinner were more susceptible to abdominal obesity ( 34 ) . This is consistent with our findings.…”

“…Overweight and obesity were combined into one category called “weight excess” (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ) for subsequent analysis. High WC (abdominal obesity) was defined as >88 cm for women and >102 cm for men [ 27 , 28 ]. WHtR was calculated as WC (cm)/height (cm).…”

Objective. To analyze the anthropometric parameters from a representative sample of Spanish adults participating in ANIBES study and the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity. Methods. This cross-sectional study focused on 1655 adults aged 18–64 years. Weight, height, and waist circumference (WC) were evaluated, and body mass index (BMI) and waist to height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. A composite index combining BMI and WHtR was designed to establish five groups with different anthropometric status. Results. The prevalence of overweight (OW) was 35.8% and that of obesity was 19.9%. Obesity (OB) was higher among men (OR 1.725, 1.415–2.104; p = 0.000) and each year of age increased the risk of obesity (OR 1.054, 1.045–1.064; p = 0.000). The prevalence of abdominal obesity (WHtR ≥ 0.5) was 58.4%. Only 36.1% of the population had an optimal anthropometric situation (BMI < 25 kg/m2, WHtR < 0.5), whereas 50.1% had weight excess and high WHtR (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, WHtR ≥ 0.5). Conclusions. More than half of Spanish population has weight excess and cardiometabolic risk. The results of this study provide an understanding of the current anthropometric situation in the Spanish population, as a first step toward planning interventions and assessing their effectiveness in the future.
