Role of Planetary Health Diet in the association between genetic susceptibility to obesity and anthropometric measures in adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

The roles of overall diet quality in linking genetic background with anthropometric measures are unclear, particularly regarding the recently developed Planetary Health Diet (PHD). This study aims to determine if the PHD mediates or moderates the relationship between genetic susceptibility to obesity and anthropometric measures.

Subjects/methods

The study involved 2942 individuals from a Finnish population-based cohort (54% women, mean age 53 (SD ± 13) years). Habitual diet was assessed using a validated 130-item food frequency questionnaire, and the PHD Score (total score range 0-13 points) was adapted for Finnish food culture to evaluate diet quality. Genetic susceptibility to obesity was evaluated with a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on one million
