Dairy foods and body weight management

چکیده
Obesity has been classified as an epidemic. It has become a major world-wide health issue while it directly causes many nutrition-related conditions (Caballero, 2007.). The United States is leading in number of people with weight problems. Over 60 % of its population are considered overweighed (body mass index 26-30 kgm-2) and half of that obsessed (body mass index >30kgm-2) (http://obesity1.tempdomainname.com/subs/fastfacts/obesity_US.shtml). So far, there is no comprehensive epidemiologic study on obesity rate in Croatia, but as a part of The Croatian Health Policy which was established in the year 1999, The First Croatian Health Summary

The studies report that dairy foods exert a significantly greater effect on body weight, fat and inches around the waist compared to calcium supplements or a low-dairy diet. The body of research also includes mechanistic studies...

Overweight and obesity are major public health concerns with approximately 32% and 17% of U.S. children aged 2 - 19 being classified as overweight or obese, respectively. While the cause of overweight and obesity is multi-factorial, changes in eating habits and physical activity patterns have been proposed as contributing factors to the obesity epidemic.

متن کاملApolipoprotein A2 polymorphism interacts with intakes of dairy foods to influence body weight in 2 U.S. populations.
The interaction between a functional apolipoprotein A2 gene (APOA2) variant and saturated fatty acids (SFAs) for the outcome of body mass index (BMI) is among the most widely replicated gene-nutrient interactions. Whether this interaction can be extrapolated to food-based sources of SFAs, specifically dairy foods, is unexplored. Cross-sectional analyses were performed in 2 U.S. population-based...
متن کاملAssociations between Consumption of Dairy Foods and Anthropometric Indicators of Health in Adolescents
Childhood obesity is associated with a greater chance of a lifetime of obesity. Evidence suggests dairy at recommended levels could be beneficial in maintaining normal weight and body composition. We assessed whether dairy consumption is associated with anthropometric indicators of health (z-scores for weight-for-age (WAZ); height-for-age (HAZ) and body mass index (BMIZ); waist-to-height ratio ...
متن کاملA lighter side of calcium: role of calcium and dairy foods in body weight.
This review explains the physiological involvement of calcium in overweight/obesity (as it is understood now) and presents some of the studies where this role has been documented, as well as those reporting no effect of Ca on body weight/composition. Based on much of the presently reported data, Ca and even more so dairy foods, might help in weight reduction/maintenance when combined with energ...
