Association between longitudinal dietary patterns and changes in obesity: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Research on the trajectory of dietary patterns and changes in obesity has been inconclusive.

Methods

This study described the dietary intake and adiposity trajectories of Chinese adults and assessed the association between dietary trajectories and changes in body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). We used data from 3, 643 adults who participated in the China Health and Nutrition Survey from 1997 to 2015. Detailed dietary data were collected by conducting three consecutive 24-h recalls.

We assessed the associations between dietary trajectories and changes in people with obesity using a
