“…37 It was observed, through the binary logistic regression analysis, that total and saturated fat intake increased the chance of being overweight among the inactive people. A study conducted with Portuguese older men found a direct association between total fat intake and BMI (p < .05), 38 similar to the result observed in this study. This finding was probably found only among inactive subjects because the fat consumed would be stored in the adipose tissue instead of being oxidized due to the increase in the energy expenditure caused by the practice of physical exercise.…”

The understanding of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and their association with food and physical activity is not yet completely clear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between CVD risk factors with dietary intake, according to the physical activity level. A cross-sectional study was conducted with Brazilian individuals attended by the Public Health System. Demographic, blood pressure, physical activity practice, anthropometry and food intake data were collected and evaluated. Of the 83 participants, 61.4% were active. No difference were observed in the frequency of CVD risk factors, anthropometric data, blood pressure, estimated energy requirement, energy and nutrient intake between the active and inactive subjects (p ≥ .05). There was also no difference in the frequency of energy and nutrient intake adequacy between groups (p ≥ .05). Among the inactive subjects, it was found that the consumption of total (OR: 1.021, p = .035) and saturated (OR: 1.060, p = .033) fat was predictor of being overweight, with no relationship between food intake and the risk factors for CVD when the total participants or active individuals were considered (p ≥ .05). No difference was observed in the frequency of CVD risk factors between active and inactive individuals, however, total and saturated fat consumption increased the chance of being overweight among the inactive individuals.

Resumo O conhecimento da associação entre os fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares com a alimentação e atividade física ainda não está totalmente elucidada. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a associação entre os fatores de risco cardiovascular e o consumo alimentar, segundo o nível de atividade física. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com individuos brasileiros atendidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. Foram coletados e avaliados dados demográficos, pressão arterial, prática de atividade física, antropometría e consumo alimentar. Dos 83 participantes, 61,4% eram ativos. Não foi observado diferença na frequência dos fatores de risco cardiovascular, dados antropométricos, pressão arterial, estimativa da necessidade energética, consumo de energía e nutrientes entre os individuos ativos e inativos (p ≥ 0,05). Também não houve diferença na frequência de adequação no consumo de energia e nutrientes entre os grupos (p ≥ 0,05). Entre os participantes inativos, observou-se que o consumo de gordura total (OR: 1,021; p = 0,035) e saturada (OR: 1,060; p = 0,033) foram preditores do sobrepeso, sem relação entre o consumo alimentar e os fatores de risco cardiovascular quando se considerou todos os participantes ou apenas os indivíduos ativos (p ≥ 0,05). Não foi observado diferença na frequência dos fatores de risco cardiovascular entre os sujeitos ativos e inativos, entretanto o consumo de gordura total e saturada aumentou a chance de sobrepeso entre os indivíduos inativos.

“…37 There are positive correlations between daily lipid intake and BMI as well as fat deposition. 39 The observed reduction in these anthropometric measures in obese rats as a result of treatment with Moringa oleifera may be due to the inhibition of dietary lipid utilization. Earlier report by Dongmeza and co-workers indicated that a higher inclusion level of moringa extract or its fractions such as saponins and tannins have been associated with the reduced energy required for protein and lipid biosynthesis leading to lower growth performance and nutrient utilization.…”

“…In the study by Howarth et al higher BMI had relationship with higher energy intake and percentage of energy from fat ( Howarth, Huang, Roberts, Lin, & McCrory, 2006 ). In addition, result of a study among elderly people aged 65 or more and living in long term care institutions showed that daily fat intake had significant association with waist circumference, mid-arm circumference and BMI ( Rodrigues et al, 2012 ). Meanwhile, Miller et al (1990) found that percentage of body fat increased with the increased percentage of energy from fat ( Miller, Lindeman, Wallace, & Niederpruem, 1990 ).…”

Background:Aging is accompanied by various changes that can cause changes in diet and body composition resulting sometimes in malnutrition and disability in the elderly. Changes in body composition among the elderly are mainly the result of physical inactivity and nutrition. This study was designed to examine the relationship between lifestyle and socio-demographic factors and body composition.Method:A cross-sectional study was carried out with 380 elderly people aged 60 and over in district 5 of Tehran, Iran. Their body composition was measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and the Actigraph device was used for assessing physical activity patterns. A three-day food recall was conducted to measure their intake of energy and macronutrients. Lifestyle and socio-demographic information were collected by interview using a pretested questionnaire.Results:Overweight, obesity and central obesity were more prevalent in women than in men (p<0.001). Moreover, 57.1% and 18.7% of participants had high and very high fat mass index, respectively. High fat mass index was seen in 47% of men and 37.5% of women who had normal body mass index (BMI). Meanwhile, age, gender, physical activity, energy intake, the percentage of energy from fat and protein, educational level, job, television watching time, smoking, chronic diseases, and taking medicine were significantly associated with anthropometric measurements (p<0.05).Conclusion:Overweight, obesity and high body fat percentage were common among the aged. Considering the factors that are significantly associated with body composition, programs that can increase their awareness about the dietary balance and suitable physical activity should be organized to address these problems.
