概括
阿雷卡坚果/贝特尔 (AN/BQ) 的使用与关岛的更高的体重指数 (BMI) 有关. 然而,这种与肥胖风险的关联在考虑种族之后会减少.
科学领域:
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 代谢健康 代谢健康
背景情况:
- 阿雷卡坚果/贝特尔 (AN/BQ) 的消费在亚洲和太平洋地区普遍存在.
- 使用AN/BQ与代谢风险有关,包括肥胖.
- 关岛的AN/BQ使用与肥胖之间的具体关系需要进行调查.
研究的目的:
- 检查在关岛的阿雷卡坚果/贝特尔 (AN/BQ) 和肥胖之间的关联.
- 确定AN/BQ的使用是否是体重指数 (BMI) 升高的危险因素.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及关岛120名成年人的横截面研究.
- 在牙科诊所采访收集的数据 (2013年7月 - 2014年10月).
- 用于分析AN/BQ和BMI之间的关联的多变量一般线性模型.
主要成果:
- 82.5%的参与者报告说曾经过AN/BQ,平均BMI为30.4kg/m2.
- 在最初的模型中,AN/BQ者与非者相比,显示了更高的调整平均BMI (4.53-4.72 kg/m2).
- 在调整了种族之后,AN/BQ和BMI之间的关联是无意义的.
结论:
- 虽然AN/BQ显示了与更高的BMI的初步关联,但考虑到种族,这种联系并不重要.
- 这些发现表明,当考虑种族时,AN/BQ可能不是关岛肥胖的独立风险因素.
