Association of food form with self-reported 24-h energy intake and meal patterns in US adults: NHANES 2003–2008

Abstract

Background: Laboratory studies suggest that food form (beverages compared with solid foods) evokes behavioral and physiologic responses that modify short-term appetite and food intake. Beverage energy may be less satiating and poorly compensated, which leads to higher energy intake. Objective: We examined associations between 24-h energy consumed in beverages and a variety of meal and dietary attributes to quantify the contribution of beverage consumption to the energy content of diets in free-living individuals consuming their selfselected diets. Design: We used dietary recall data for adults (n = 13,704) in NHANES 2003NHANES -2008 to examine the multiple covariate-adjusted associations between 24-h energy from beverages and nonbeverages and associations between beverage intake, eating behaviors, and the energy density of beverage and nonbeverage foods. Results: In the highest tertile of 24-h beverage energy intake, beverages provided .30% of energy. Total 24-h energy and nonbeverage energy consumption and energy density (kcal/g) of both beverage and nonbeverage foods increased with increasing energy from beverages (P , 0.0001). With increasing 24-h beverage energy consumption, the reported frequency of all, snack, and beverage-only ingestive episodes and length of the ingestive period increased, whereas the percentage of energy from main meals decreased (P , 0.0001). Conclusions: Higher 24-h beverage energy intake was related to higher energy intake from nonbeverage foods, quality of food selections, and distribution of 24-h energy into main meal and snack episodes. Moderation of beverage-only ingestive episodes and curtailing the length of the ingestion period may hold potential to lower uncompensated beverage energy consumption in the US population.Am J Clin Nutr 2012;96:1369-78.

A workplace farmstand pilot programme in Omaha, Nebraska, USA

“…In addition, the majority of employees reported FV intake that fell short of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (3·5-6·5 cups FV daily, depending on sex, age and activity level) (19) . Survey findings are consistent with lower FV intake in the general population and reaffirm the need for innovative strategies, both within and outside the workplace, to help promote greater FV intake (20,21) . For employees, workplace farmstand programmes have the potential to increase awareness of local food systems and exposure to locally harvested produce, which may have enhanced taste and quality (5,22) .…”

Association of self-reported sleep duration with eating behaviors of American adults: NHANES 2005–2010 , , ,

“…The NHANES public release data include estimates of 24-h intake of these dietary components (except for percentage of energy from beverages) for each respondent. To compute the percentage of 24-h energy from beverages, foods reported in the recall were grouped into beverage and nonbeverage items by using previously published methods (32). Briefly, all types of beverages, including milk, caffeinated and noncaffeinated beverages, energy drinks, alcoholic drinks, and fruit and vegetable juices and drinks were considered beverages.…”

Consumption of soft drinks and health-related quality of life in the adult population

“…28 foods. 34 Also of note is that because of the higher consumption of SSB among the less 24 educated and in those with higher BMI and with diabetes, SSB may well be contributing to the inverse educational gradient of obesity and diabetes in many countries. 25,35 In contrast, 1 consumption of ASB showed no association with unhealthy lifestyles.…”
