Fruit and vegetable consumption and prospective weight change in
participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and
Nutrition-Physical Activity, Nutrition, Alcohol, Cessation of Smoking,
Eating Out of Home, and Obesity study
Περίληψη:
Background: Fruit and vegetable consumption might prevent weight gain
through their low energy density and high dietary fiber content.
Objective: We assessed the association between the baseline consumption
of fruit and vegetables and weight change in participants from 10
European countries participating in the European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study.
Design: Diet was assessed at baseline in 373,803 participants by using
country-specific validated questionnaires. Weight was measured at
baseline and self-reported at follow-up in most centers. Associations
between baseline fruit and vegetable intakes (per 100 g/d) and weight
change (g/y) after a mean follow-up of 5 y were assessed by using linear
mixed-models, with age, sex, total energy intake, and other potential
confounders controlled for.
Results: After exclusion of subjects with chronic diseases at baseline
and subjects who were likely to misreport energy intakes, baseline fruit
and vegetable intakes were not associated with weight change overall.
However, baseline fruit and vegetable intakes were inversely associated
with weight change in men and women who quit smoking during follow-up.
We observed weak positive associations between vegetable intake and
weight change in women who were overweight, were former smokers, or had
high prudent dietary pattern scores and weak inverse associations
between fruit intake and weight change in women who were >50 y of age,
were of normal weight, were never smokers, or had low prudent dietary
pattern scores.
Conclusions: In this large study, higher baseline fruit and vegetable
intakes, while maintaining total energy intakes constant, did not
substantially influence midterm weight change overall but could help to
reduce risk of weight gain in persons who stop smoking. The interactions
observed in women deserve additional attention. Am J Clin Nutr
