Changes in the Global Diet Quality Score, Weight, and Waist Circumference in Mexican Women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on concurrent changes in overall diet quality and weight and waist circumference in women of reproductive age from low- and middle-income countries is limited.

Objectives

We examined the associations of changes in the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) and each GDQS food group with concurrent weight and waist circumference change in Mexican women.

Methods

We followed prospectively 8967 nonpregnant nonlactating women aged 25-49 y in the Mexican Teachers' Cohort between 2006 and 2008. We assessed diet using an FFQ of the previous year and anthropometric measures were self-reported. Regression models were used to examine 2-y changes in the GDQS and each food group (servings/d) with weight and waist circumference changes within the same period, adjusting
