“…Then, a post-trial observational study was established (SU.VI.MAX2; 2007 -2009), with an assessment of biological, clinical and lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, socioeconomic characteristics, health events and diet, through self-administered questionnaires. 25,26 The current analyses include only participants aged 45 -60 years at baseline, with at least three 24-h dietary records provided during the first 2 years of follow-up (1994 -1996) and no missing dietary, anthropometric or covariate data ( Figure 1). The first set of analyses assessed the association between dietary scores and 13-year weight change in 3151 subjects.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:The relationship between diet quality and development of obesity is complex and unresolved. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the predictive value of six different dietary scores on both relative weight change and the risk of obesity after 13 years of follow-up in adults aged 45 years and older. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Six scores reflecting adherence to different nutritional recommendations (the French Programme National Nutrition Santé-Guideline Score (PNNS-GS), the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Index (DGAI), the Diet Quality IndexInternational (DQI-I), the Mediterranean Diet Scale (MDS), the relative Mediterranean Diet Score (rMED) and the Mediterranean Style Dietary Pattern Score (MSDPS)) were estimated in 3151 participants in the French SU.VI.MAX (SUpplé mentation en VItamines et Miné raux AntioXydants) study. Associations of dietary scores with 13-year weight change were assessed through multivariate linear regression models, and obesity risk was analyzed with logistic regression, providing odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: Except for the MSDPS, higher scores, that is, better adherence to nutritional guidelines or to a Mediterranean diet, were associated with lower weight gain in men (all P-value for trend o0.05). In addition, among men, ORs for becoming obese after 13 years associated with a 1 s.d. increase in dietary scores ranged from 0.63, 95% CI: 0.51, 0.78 for DGAI to 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59, 0.88 for MDS. These associations were weaker or not statistically significant in women. CONCLUSION: Overall, the six dietary scores predicted obesity risk equally well. Among French adults, strong adherence to dietary guidelines appears to be protective with regard to weight gain and obesity, especially in men.

“…The questionnaire has been described in detail elsewhere. [30][31][32] Criterion validity of the modifiable activity questionnaire has been shown with a correlation coefficient of 0.56 (P ¼ 0.01, n ¼ 18 adults) between leisure activity from the questionnaire and total energy expenditure assessed by doubly labeled water. 32 Testretest correlations ranged from 0.63 to 0.92 for leisure activity in the first study by Kriska et al 33 Briefly, subjects were asked to report all leisure physical activities that were performed at least 10 times for 10 min per session over the past 12 months.…”

Leisure-time physical activity and sedentary behavior clusters and their associations with overweight in middle-aged French adults

et al. 2010

Objective: To identify leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and sedentary behavior patterns, as well as to investigate their relationships with overweight. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: Men (n ¼ 2206) and women (n ¼ 2476) aged 445 years, living in France, enrolled in the SU.VI.MAX (Supplémentation en VItamines et Minéraux AntioXydants) study. Measurements: LTPA and sedentary behavior were assessed using the Modifiable Activity Questionnaire whereas weight and height were measured from study participants. Clusters were defined, by gender, with multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis successively, taking into account the type (walking, gardening, etc.) and duration of each physical activity performed, as well as the time spent watching television (TV) as typical sedentary behavior. Logistic regression models were used to assess associations with overweight. Results: Four physical activity and sedentary behavior clusters were identified among men and three among women. We chose as referent cluster the cluster associating 'walking and gardening-low TV' in men and the cluster associating 'walking and gardening-high TV' in women. Compared with the referent cluster and after adjustment for age, education level, smoking status and place of residence, the likelihood of overweight (defined as body mass index X25 kg m À2 ) in women was lower for a 'multiple activity-low TV' cluster (odds ratio (OR) ¼ 0.66, 95% confidence interval ¼ 0.54-0.81) and for a cluster associating 'endurance physical activity-low TV' (OR ¼ 0.42 (0.29-0.60)). Compared with the referent cluster and after adjustment, the likelihood of overweight in men was decreased for the 'endurance physical activity' cluster (OR ¼ 0.66, (0.52-0.84)), whereas no significant association was found with the other clusters. Conclusions: Patterns combining specific types of physical activity and sedentary behavior were identified and differed in their relations to overweight in adults. The identification of global patterns of activity allows us to go beyond a simple decreased activity-increased body weight approach and adds to our understanding of the associations of specific forms and grouping of activity with overweight in adults.

“…Leisure time physical activity (LTPA) was assessed with a French version (Vuillemin et al, 2000) of Kriskas's Modifiable Activity Questionnaire (MAQ) validated in adults (Kriska et al, 1990) and teenagers (Aaron et al, 1995). In 1999, the teenager MAQ was administered by a trained interviewer to evaluate the past-weeks and past-year's leisure time activity.…”

High plasma leptin predicts an increase in subcutaneous adiposity in children and adults

et al. 2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To investigate the hypothesis that plasma leptin may predict adiposity changes. Design: A population-based cohort study. Setting: Fleurbaix and Laventie, in the north of France. Subjects: In all, 1175 subjects participated, of whom 946 completed measurements at baseline (1999) and follow-up (2001). After excluding 64 subjects obese at baseline, 882 subjects (478 adults, 404 children 8 years and over) were included in the analysis. Interventions: We measured plasma leptin concentrations at baseline and various adiposity parameters at baseline and followup. Partial correlation coefficients (r p ) between baseline plasma leptin and each adiposity indicator at follow-up were calculated with adjustment for baseline age, pubertal stage, adiposity and familial correlations between siblings. Results: Changes in body mass index and percentage body fat were not related to baseline plasma leptin. High baseline plasma leptin predicted an increase (r p (P-value)) in the sum of the four skinfolds (0.18 (o0.0001)), the waist circumference (0.16 (0.0003)) and the waist-to-hip ratio (0.29 (o0.0001)) in adults only, and in the hip circumference in adults (0.20 (o0.0001)) and children (0.22 (o0.0001)). After adjustment for a set of four adiposity variables at baseline (percentage body fat, skinfolds, waist and hip circumferences), baseline plasma leptin predicted only changes in the sum of the four skinfolds in adults (0.15 (0.001)), with similar tendency although not significant in children (0.08 (0.13)). Conclusions: A high leptin relative to baseline fat mass predicts fat mass gain over time, mainly in the subcutaneous location.
