“…In other countries, numerous studies have examined the relation between dietary patterns and socioeconomic level assessed by various indicators such as educational, household income or occupational class. A high education level has often been positively associated with a dietary pattern that includes 'healthy food' components, whereas a low education level has been associated with a 'western pattern' (Greenwood et al, 2000;Schulze et al, 2001;Tseng and DeVellis, 2001;Costacou et al, 2003;Sanchez-Villegas et al, 2003;Villegas et al, 2004;Engeset et al, 2005;Perrin et al, 2005;Yang et al, 2005;Pala et al, 2006). We observed a relation between education and the 'alcohol and meat products', 'prudent diet' and 'convenience foods' patterns.…”

“…As previously noted in a review (Togo et al, 2001), findings from recent cross-sectional studies have not been consistent Bamia et al, 2005;Engeset et al, 2005;Schulz et al, 2005;Pala et al, 2006;Paradis et al, 2006;Nettleton et al, 2007) regarding the relation between prudent or healthy dietary patterns and anthropometric variables. A longitudinal analysis of data from an American prospective study showed a smaller annual change in BMI (in women) and in waist circumference (in both men and women) with an increasing score for a healthy pattern .…”

“…Although a 'prudent' or 'healthy' pattern has been positively associated with a better health status Schulze and Hoffmann, 2006), unexpected associations were observed between the 'prudent diet' pattern and overweight in women and hyperlipidaemia medication use in men. Similarly, Pala et al (2006) identified a prudent pattern that was also related to risk factors such as high waist-to-hip ratio, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia in women. These unexpected findings may indicate reverse causality due to the cross-sectional design of our study.…”

“…Numerous studies have investigated relationships between sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and dietary patterns (Whichelow and Prevost, 1996;Greenwood et al, 2000;Pryer et al, 2001;Schulze et al, 2001;Tseng and DeVellis, 2001;Costacou et al, 2003;Sanchez-Villegas et al, 2003;Villegas et al, 2004;Bamia et al, 2005;Engeset et al, 2005;Park et al, 2005;Perrin et al, 2005;Yang et al, 2005;Pala et al, 2006). To our knowledge, only one study investigating the relationship between dietary patterns and their determinants was conducted in France, but among men only (Perrin et al, 2005), and there are no studies that have been carried out among French women and men.…”

Dietary patterns and their sociodemographic and behavioural correlates in French middle-aged adults from the SU.VI.MAX cohort

et al. 2008

Background/Objectives: Few studies have investigated dietary patterns among French adults. We aimed to identify dietary patterns and their relation with nutrient intakes, sociodemographic, lifestyle and other health indicators in a large population of middle-aged subjects living in France. Subjects/Methods: Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis in 5194 women and men aged 45-60 years enrolled in the SU.VI.MAX (Supplémentation en Vitamines et Minéraux Antioxydants) study. Dietary data were based on repeated 24-h dietary records (at least six records during 2 years). Results: Four patterns were identified: (1) 'alcohol and meat products'; (2) 'prudent diet'; (3) 'convenience foods'; and (4) 'starch, sauces, and vegetables'. The first pattern was positively associated with low education, smoking and overweight in both genders, as well as with abdominal obesity in women and treated hyperlipidaemia and/or hypertension in men. The second pattern was positively correlated with high education and being older than 55 years and negatively correlated with current smoking. This pattern was also associated with overweight and low waist circumference in women and with hyperlipidaemia treatment in men. The third pattern was inversely related to age and positively related to higher education in both genders. In men, higher scores were related to living alone and an urban residence. The fourth pattern was associated with high education and an urban residence in men only. Conclusions: Our study identified four dietary patterns in this population of French middle-aged adults. Associations with sociodemographic, behavioural and health-related factors were found to differ according to dietary patterns. Sex-specific relationships were also found.

“…6,7 Diet and nutrition have been studied as factors for promoting and maintaining health throughout life. 8 Dietary patterns have been associated with non-communicable chronic diseases, 9-13 mortality, [14][15][16] cognitive function, 17 obesity 10,12,[18][19] and the protective effect on being overweight. 14,18,[20][21] Unhealthy dietary patterns (sugar, fat, processed foods and refined grains) can be found in overweight younger adults 20,22 as well as in the elderly.…”

Objective: dietary pattern evaluation is often used in order to determine wheter a diet is healthy, as well as to predict the onset of diseases. This study aimed to identify dietary patterns, and to examine their associations with general (body mass index) and central (waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio) obesity in community-living elderly in a Brazilian city. Methods: this cross-sectional study included 126 elderly subjects aged 60 or older (57.1% females and mean age 74.2 ± 6.46 years). Anthropometric variables, weight, height, waist (WC) and hip (HC) circumferences, were measured. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Answers to a Food Frequency Questionnaire were interpreted by Principal Component Analysis in order to identify dietary patterns. Results: five dietary patterns were identified and named as prudent (fruit, vegetables and meat), sweets and fats (pastries, sugary foods, fatty foods, whole milk), typical Brazilian (fried eggs, cooked beans, beef, candy, string beans, fried cassava), Mediterranean (fruit, vegetables, olive oil and nuts) and traditional meal (rice and beans). Moderate and high adherences to the Mediterranean pattern were protective factors to general and central obesity (WHR). High adherence to prudent was also protective to central obesity (WC). Conclusion: adherences to the dietary patterns prudent and Mediterranean were protective factors to general and central obesity in elderly.
