“…Two cross-sectional studies did find negative correlations between coffee intake and skinfold thicknesses or BMI (Kromhout et al 1988;Merkus et al 1995). Our present study found positive associations between coffee and tea intake and changes in WC before adjusting for BMI changes; this was also seen in some cross-sectional studies for BMI (Baecke et al 1983;Jacobsen & Thelle, 1987;Kamycheva et al 2003).…”

Food and drinking patterns as predictors of 6-year BMI-adjusted changes in waist circumference

Few studies have investigated the prospective associations between diet or drinking patterns and abdominal obesity; we therefore investigated whether food and beverage groups or patterns predicted 6-year changes in waist circumference (WC) and whether these associations were independent of concurrent changes in BMI as a measure of general obesity. The subjects were 2300 middle-aged men and women with repeated measurements of dietary intake, BMI and WC from 1982 to 1993. Intakes from ten food groups and from coffee, tea, wine, beer and spirits were assessed; gender-specific food factors were identified by factor analyses. Multiple linear regression analyses were done before and after adjustment for concurrent changes in BMI. A high intake of potatoes seemed to prevent gain in WC for men, while a high intake of refined bread was associated with gain in WC for women. The association persisted for refined bread, but not for potatoes, after adjustment for concurrent BMI changes. Among women, but not men, high intakes of beer and spirits were associated with gain in WC in both models. A high intake of coffee for women and moderate to high intake of tea for men were associated with gain in WC, but the associations were weakened, especially for women, after adjustment for BMI changes. None of the food factors was associated with WC changes. Based on the present study, we conclude that very few food items and no food patterns seem to predict changes in WC, whereas high intakes of beer and spirits among women, and moderate to high tea intake among men, may promote gain in WC.

“…Na população adulta a prevalência chega a 33,8% nos Estados Unidos 3 e atinge 14,8% no Brasil 4 . A alta prevalência da obesidade é preocupante, pois está relacionada à maior mortalidade e incidência de doenças cardiovasculares, hipertensão, diabetes, dislipidemia, cálculo biliar, osteoartrite, apneia do sono e certos tipos de câncer 2,5,6 . A obesidade tem origem em uma interação complexa entre fatores biológicos, genéticos, ambientais, sociais e psicológicos, que levam a um balanço energético positivo e, consequentemente, ao ganho de peso 2 .…”

Rice bran (RB), a by-product obtained during polishing of un-milled rice, contains a large quantity of essential nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, fiber, amino acids, and antioxidants. In this study, the anti-obesity effects of stabilized RB addition as a food material in a diet-induced obese animal model were investigated. For the analysis, a total of 32 mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal diet group (ND, n=8), high-fat diet group (HFD, n=8), 20% RB added high fat diet group (HFRB20, n=8), and 40% RB added high fat diet group (HFRB40, n=8). The animals were sacrificed after 7 weeks. Body weight gain, various adipose tissue weights, blood glucose concentration, and serum leptin level of the HFRB40 group were found to be significantly lower than those of the HFD group. Moreover, antioxidant enzyme activity of the HFRB40 group was significantly higher than that of the HFD group. However, the HFRB20 group did not show significantly different values. The results of this study show that RB (40%) addition reduces body weight gain and improves obesity-related parameters. These results suggest RB could be considered as a functional additive material for the manufacture of anti-obesity products, and 40% RB addition would be the physiologically effective level.
