Dietary patterns are associated with general and central obesity in elderly living in a Brazilian city
Objective: dietary pattern evaluation is often used in order to determine wheter a diet is healthy, as well as to predict the onset of diseases. This study aimed to identify dietary patterns, and to examine their associations with general (body mass index) and central (waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio) obesity in community-living elderly in a Brazilian city. Methods: this cross-sectional study included 126 elderly subjects aged 60 or older (57.1% females and mean age 74.2 ± 6.46 years). Anthropometric variables, weight, height, waist (WC) and hip (HC) circumferences, were measured. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Answers to a Food Frequency Questionnaire were interpreted by Principal Component Analysis in order to identify dietary patterns. Results: five dietary patterns were identified and named as prudent (fruit, vegetables and meat), sweets and fats (pastries, sugary foods, fatty foods, whole milk), typical Brazilian (fried eggs, cooked beans, beef, candy, string beans, fried cassava), Mediterranean (fruit, vegetables, olive oil and nuts) and traditional meal (rice and beans). Moderate and high adherences to the Mediterranean pattern were protective factors to general and central obesity (WHR). High adherence to prudent was also protective to central obesity (WC). Conclusion: adherences to the dietary patterns prudent and Mediterranean were protective factors to general and central obesity in elderly.
