Body weight, diet, and serum cholesterol in 871 middle-aged men during 10 years of follow-up (the Zutphen Study)

Abstract: Information about anthropometric, dietary variables and serum cholesterol was collected in the Zutphen Study in 1960, 1965, and 1970. Relationships among those variables were analyzed both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. In all 3 yr significant correlations were observed between body weight and serum cholesterol. Serum cholesterol was also significantly inversely related to energy intake per kg body weight in all 3 yr after both univariate and multivariate analyses. The percentage energy intake from alco… Show more

“…1 For instance, obesity is a major factor for a number of diseases, including coronary heart diseases, hypertension, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, pulmonary dysfunction, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer. [2][3][4] Factors related to the development of obesity are decreased physical activity (PA) and increased energy intake (EI); thus weight loss and loss of body fat can be achieved by reducing EI and/or increasing energy expenditure.…”

“…1 Obesity is a major factor for a number of comorbidities such as coronary heart diseases, hypertension, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, pulmonary dysfunction, osteoarthritis and certain types of cancer. [2][3][4] The main factor causing the development of obesity is a positive energy balance through a decreased physical activity and increased energy intake, especially fat intake. Weight loss and loss of body fat can thus be achieved by reducing energy intake and/or increasing energy expenditure.…”

“…With respect to lipid metabolism, the increase in body weight is correlated with the increase in serum lipid level during the first year after the transplant (Grady et al, 1991;Keogh et al, 1988), whereas a decrease in body weight or energy intake is effective to reduce blood cholesterol level (Kannel et al, 1979;Nichols et al, 1976;Kromhout, 1983).…”
