“…Next, values ranging from 1 point for the first quintile to 5 points for the fifth quintile were assigned (for DGI, those in the fifth quintile received 1 point and those in the first quintile received 5 points). Then all values were added to calculate CQI (range [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], which was also divided into quintiles (19) .…”

“…However, such analyses are limited with regard to causality or evidence for an inverse relationship (6) . It has also been suggested that the quality of carbohydrates (7) , as indicated by glycaemic index (GI) or glycaemic load (GL) (6) , and, in particular, the intake of sugar-sweetened soft drinks (8) , whole grains (9) and dietary fibre (7) , is associated with the risk of obesity and metabolic disease.…”

“…Cakes, biscuits, ice cream, sweets, snacks, crackers and chips which were included in this food group usually contain a considerable amount of calories and refined carbohydrates and less dietary fibre. Frequent consumption of such types of food could lead to weight gain over years (Santiago et al, 2015). A 2 year cohort study in Germany showed that intake of sweets was associated with large weight gains in both women and men (Schulz et al, 2002).…”

Similar to other countries, Malaysia is not spared from the epidemic of obesity. The fundamental cause of obesity is an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure in which diet is a key, modifiable risk factor. While the food and nutrient intake of Malaysian adults is documented, data on the extent to which each food group contributes to total calorie ingested has not been reported to date. A cross-sectional study was conducted among Malaysian adults (n = 360) aged 18-58 years in a public university. Through face-to-face interview, nutrient intake data was collected using a previously validated food frequency questionnaire. The calorie acquired from different food groups was calculated as a percentage of total calorie intake. Body weight, height and waist circumference were also measured. Food group-wise, the highest calorie derived from vegetables, drinks and confectioneries were by normal weight, obese and overweight participants, respectively. Positive correlations were established between percentage of calorie from eggs and waist circumference (p = 0.035) and percentage of calories from sauces and body mass index (p = 0.013). Percentage of calorie from drinks was positively correlated with all three measures of adiposity, namely; body weight (p = 0.010), body mass index (p = 0.044) and waist circumference (p = 0.020). Adiposity was associated with intake of a larger amount of calories from drinks, confectioneries as well as from eggs and sauces and consumption of lesser calories from vegetables. Such a dietary pattern of overweight and obese individuals can predispose them to health complications such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
