Dietary energy density (ED) may be a good predictor of weight gain because of its association with the regulation of appetite control signals. Among the participants of the ‘SUpplementation en VItamines et Mineraux AntioXydants’ prospective study, 2707 subjects were included in the present study. Changes in weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and waist:hip ratio were calculated using measured data collected in 1995/1996 and 2001/2002. The mean changes in various anthropometric indicators according to baseline body-weight status (BMI <  or ≥ 25 kg/m2) and sex-specific tertiles of baseline ED level or 6-year changes in ED were compared by covariance analysis. In overweight subjects, weight gain was positively associated with high dietary ED at baseline (P for trend  =  0·03) and with increasing ED during the follow-up (P for trend  =  0·0008). Both the WC and HC changes were also positively related to baseline ED and change in ED in overweight subjects. However, the relationships observed for the WC and HC changes were no longer significant after adjustment for weight change. These results support the hypothesis of a deleterious effect of high-energy-dense diets on weight change for overweight subjects. This relationship could be mediated by physical activity level. Further research needs to be performed in other populations to determine whether ED could be effective strategies to prevent weight gain.

Background: The evidences for the relationship between long-term weight gain and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Chinese population were limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore the association of body weight status in early adulthood and weight changes with MetS.Methods: Data from China Multicenter Collaborative Study of Cardiovascular Epidemiology including 12808 participants aged 35–59 were used. Participants were surveyed for cardiovascular risk factors and a self-reported weight at age 25, which was defined as early adulthood. Weight change was calculated as the difference between baseline weight and early adulthood weight. MetS was defined according to AHA/NHLBI definition in 2009. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to examine the association between early adulthood weight status, weight change and MetS.Results: Mean age of participants was 46.7 years, including 6134 men and 6674 women. The overall prevalence of MetS was 21.8%. After adjusted for age, sex and other confounding factors, both BMI at 25 age and weight gain were positively associated with the risk of MetS. Being overweight (BMI, 24–27.9 kg m-2) or obese (BMI ≥28 kg m-2) at early adulthood was related to an increased risk of MetS, the odds ratio (OR) and 95%confidence interval (CI) was 3.24 (2.82–3.72) and 13.31 (8.72–20.31). In addition, weight gain was also associated with higher risk of MetS (P for trend<0.01).Conclusions: Overweight and obesity in early adulthood and weight gain were both independently related to an increased risk of MetS in the middle-aged Chinese men and women.

Abstract Objectives Both the relative reinforcing value (RRV) of food, or the motivation to obtain food, and eating disorder (ED) pathology have been shown to independently predict weight gain. However, less is known about how the interaction between the RRV of food and ED pathology predicts weight gain over time. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the combined effects of the RRV of food and ED pathology on weight change over 6 months in a sample of adolescents. Methods Participants included 77 12–14 year old adolescents participating in a longitudinal study examining factors that predict changes in weight status. Data presented are from baseline and 6 months. The RRV of food was assessed using a computer task. Participants earned points for energy dense food by pressing a mouse button on a computer across escalating schedules of reinforcement. Participants were classified as “low” or “high” in RRV based on a median split of their total responses. Global ED pathology was assessed at baseline using adolescent self-report on the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire. Participants were classified as “low” or “high” in ED pathology based on a median split of their global ED pathology. Four groups were created: low ED pathology/low RRV (n = 20), high ED pathology/low RRV (n = 23), low ED pathology/high RRV (n = 15), and high ED pathology/high RRV (n = 19). Height and weight were measured at both baseline and 6 months and used to calculate zBMI. ANOVA was used to examine differences in zBMI change over 6 months by RRV/ED pathology group. Results zBMI change from baseline to 6 months differed by RRV/ED pathology group (P < .05). Changes in zBMI over 6 months were as follows: - 0.025 ± 0.298 for low ED pathology/low RRV; 0.010 ± 0.322 for high ED pathology/low RRV; - 0.095 ± 0.181 for low ED pathology/high RRV; and 0.186 ± 0.268 for high ED pathology/high RRV. Follow-up contrasts revealed that the high ED pathology/high RRV group experienced greater zBMI changes than the other groups (ps < 0.05). Conclusions While the RRV of food and ED pathology are both independently associated with weight gain, the current study indicates that there may be something unique about the combination of high RRV of food and high ED pathology related to risk of weight gain. Future work is needed to identify strategies to limit weight gain in this vulnerable population. Funding Sources National Institutes of Health.

Faecal Egg Count

A study was conducted to determine the effect of different nutrient densities on performance characteristics and faecal egg count of West African Dwarf (WAD) rams semi-intensively managed. Twenty four yearling lambs between 10-15kg were used for the experiment. The lambs were allotted to two treatment groups containing 12 animals per group. They were released into the paddock containing sown pasture to graze for 6 hours per day. The animals were randomly assigned to treatments containing two levels of protein-energy density: low energy, low protein (LELP) and high energy, high protein (HEHP) in a completely randomized design. Performance characteristics of WAD rams showed that protein and energy density have significant effect (P<0.05) on weight gain, daily weight gain and protein intake. Metabolic weight gain was influenced (P<0.05) positively by the protein and energy density. Animals fed HEHP diets had significantly (P<0.05) higher protein intake (54.66 g) than those fed LELP diets (22.92 g). The slope observed for animals on HEHP diet was lower compared to that of their counterpart on LELP diet. Hence, HEHP diets improved performance of West African Dwarf sheep as well as reducing the gastrointestinal parasite infection due to lower FEC recorded.

AbstractTo investigate associations between eating frequency and energy intake, energy density, diet quality and body weight status in adults from the USA, combined data from the 2009–2010 and 2011–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used in this study. The first 24-h dietary recall data from eligible participants (4017 men and 3774 women) were used to calculate eating frequency, as well as energy intake, energy density and the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010), as a measure of diet quality. BMI and waist circumference were obtained from the NHANES body measures data. Adjusting for confounding socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors, a higher eating frequency was significantly associated with higher energy intake in both men and women (bothP<0·001). A higher eating frequency was also significantly associated with lower energy density in both men and women, regardless of whether beverage or water intake was included in the calculation of energy density (allP<0·01). Moreover, there was a significant positive association between eating frequency and the HEI-2010 total score in both men and women (bothP<0·001). Eating frequency was inversely associated with BMI in women (P=0·003), as well as waist circumference in both men (P=0·032) and women (P=0·010). Results from the present study suggested that adults with a higher eating frequency in the USA had a healthier diet with lower energy density and better diet quality, and eating frequency was inversely associated with body weight status.

Diet And Lifestyle

Background: Some prospective observational studies have evaluated baseline diet and lifestyle behaviors, rather than changes in diet and lifestyle in relation to weight gain. Evaluating changes in diet and lifestyle on changes in adiposity may more appropriately identify effective strategies aimed at preventing weight gain. Methods: In a prospective cohort of Mexican female teachers (n=11,296) aged 35-65 y, we evaluated how two-year changes in diet and lifestyle behaviors relate to body weight change. We excluded women who were pregnant or who had prevalent heart disease, diabetes, or cancer at baseline, and those with implausible energy intake or missing baseline dietary, lifestyle, or weight data. We collected information on habitual consumption of foods and beverages with a validated food frequency questionnaire. Weight was self-reported and previously validated. We obtained data on physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, and TV watching through a self-administered questionnaire. We calculated the change in weight and diet/lifestyle behaviors by subtracting the information obtained in 2008 from that in 2006. We used multivariable linear regression models adjusting for age, state of residence, menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy, and all diet and lifestyle behaviors, simultaneously. Results: Increasing weekly servings of individual food components was positively associated with two-year body weight for intake of potatoes (0.06 kg; 95%CI 0.006, 0.12), corn (0.22 kg; 95%CI 0.006, 0.43), corn tortilla (0.03 kg; 95%CI 0.02, 0.04), sweets and desserts (0.01 kg; 95%CI 0.001, 0.03), Mexican dishes (0.13 kg; 95%CI 0.08, 0.17), and sodas (0.07 kg; 95%CI 0.05, 0.10). We observed an inverse association for intake of fruits (-0.006 kg; 95%CI -0.011, -0.001), vegetables (-0.013 kg; 95%CI -0.019, -0.008), and whole grains (-0.025 kg; 95%CI -0.045, -0.005). Lifestyle behaviors were also independently associated with weight change, including smoking (ever smokers=0.22 kg, starters=-0.24 kg, quitters=0.18 kg; p=0.04), physical activity level (decrease in category=0.14 kg, increase in category=-0.04 kg p=0.03), and TV watching (0.04 kg per hour/d; p=0.04). Changes in consumption of nuts, refined grains, low-fat and whole-fat dairy products, red and processed meats, beans, rice, diet sodas, and alcohol use were not associated with two-year weight change. Conclusions: Two-year changes in specific dietary and lifestyle behaviors were associated with modest changes in body weight. These results may be useful for targeted weight management messages.

ABSTRACTObjective. To evaluate the effects of different levels of digestible lysine in diets with high energy density on productive performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs. Materials and Methods. Seventy crossbred barrows (initial body weight of 83.36 kg) were used and allotted in a randomized block design with five treatments, seven replications and two pigs per experimental unit. Pigs were fed ad libitum with diets containing 3.5 kcal/kg of ME and five levels of digestible lysine (0.46, 0.52, 0.58, 0.64 and 0.70%) during four weeks. Final live weight (FLW), daily feed intake (DFI), daily weight gain (DWG), feed conversion (FC), daily lysine intake (DLI), and the amount of lysine per body weight gain (DLI/DWG), were evaluated. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were taken from each pig to determine urea nitrogen concentration (UN) in serum and slaughtered to evaluate quantitative and qualitative carcass characteristics. Results. The FLW increased linearly (p<0.05).There were no differences among treatments for DFI, DWG, FC, carcass characteristics and UN. The DLI and DLI/DWG varied significantly (p<0.001) and increased linearly (p<0.001) with each lysine level. Pigs that consumed the limiting diet in lysine (0.46%) showed less DLI and DLI/DWG (p<0.001) than pigs fed the other diets. Conclusions. The amount of DLI/DWG increased with the evaluated levels of digestible lysine in diets with high energy density, without effects on productive performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs. RESUMENObjetivo. Evaluar los efectos de diferentes niveles de lisina digestible en dietas con alta densidad energética sobre el desempeño productivo y características de la canal de cerdos en finalización. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron 70 cerdos (peso inicial de 83.36 kg) mestizos castrados, distribuidos en un diseño de bloques al azar con cinco tratamientos, siete repeticiones y dos cerdos por unidad experimental. Los cerdos fueron alimentados ad libitum con dietas que contenían 3.5 Mcal/kg de energía metabolizable y cinco niveles de lisina digestible (0.46, 0.52, 0.58, 0.64 y 0.70%) durante cuatro semanas. Se evaluaron: peso vivo final (PVF), consumo diario de alimento (CDA), ganancia diaria de peso (GDP), conversión de alimento (CA), consumo diario de lisina (CDLis) y la cantidad de lisina por peso ganado (CDLis/GDP). Al final de experimento, se extrajeron muestras de sangre de todos los cerdos para determinar la concentración de nitrógeno ureico (NU) en suero sanguíneo y luego se sacrificaron para evaluar las características cualitativas y cuantitativas de la canal. Resultados. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos para CDA, GDP, CA, características de la canal y NU. El PVF incrementó linealmente (p<0.05). El CDLis y la CDLis/GDP variaron significativamente (p<0.001) e incrementaron linealmente (p<0.001) con cada nivel de lisina. Los cerdos que consumieron la dieta limitante en lisina (0.46%) mostraron menor consumo y CDLis/GDP (p<0.001) que los cerdos alimentados con las otras dietas. Conclusiones. Los niveles de lisina digestible evaluados en dietas con alta densidad energética aumentan la CDLis/GDP, sin efectos sobre el desempeño productivo y las características de la canal de los cerdos en finalización.
