Can dietary intake influence perception of and measured appearance? A Systematic Review

Appearance-based interventions have had some success in reducing smoking and sun exposure. Appearance may also motivate dietary behavior change if it was established that dietary improvement had a positive impact on appearance. The aims of this review are to evaluate the current evidence examining the relationship between dietary intake and appearance and to determine the effectiveness of dietary interventions on perceived or actual appearance. An electronic search of English language studies up to August 2012 was conducted using Cochrane, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, SCOPUS and PsycINFO databases. Studies that included participants aged ≥ 18 years, that observed or altered dietary intake from actual food or dietary supplement use and assessed appearancerelated outcomes were considered eligible. Data from 27 studies were extracted and assessed for quality using standardized tools. Nineteen studies were assessed as being of "positive" and four of "neutral" quality. All observational studies (n=4741 participants) indicated that there was a significant association between various aspects of dietary intake and skin coloration and skin aging. The majority (16 studies, 769 participants) evaluated the effect of dietary supplements on skin appearance amongst females. Only one study examined the effect of actual food intake on appearance. Significant improvements in at least one actual or perceived appearance-related outcome (facial wrinkling, skin elasticity, roughness and skin color) following dietary intervention were shown as a result of supplementation. Further studies are needed in representative populations that examine actual food intake on appearance, using validated tools in a well-designed high quality RCTs.

“…1 Despite public awareness of the health risks of obesity, unhealthy weight gain is common in Australian adults. 2 One group at particular risk is women of child-bearing age (18-45 years), [2][3][4] particularly those with children, who are not only at high risk of weight gain due to pregnancy, [5][6][7][8] but experience a high risk of physical inactivity, 9 unhealthy eating patterns 10 and the greatest barriers to adopting healthy lifestyle changes. 11 Women with children who live in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods face even greater risk of obesity, as evidence suggests that neighbourhood deprivation is associated with obesity risk, independently of individual-level socioeconomic position.…”

“…[14][15][16][17][18] Efforts to reduce the high prevalence of overweight and obesity among women with children who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are currently hindered by a lack of understanding of the aetiology of weight gain and obesity in this group. Although diets high in energy and fat and sedentary lifestyles are believed to be key behaviours in the aetiology of overweight and obesity among young women generally, 3,9,10 the relative contributions of these factors to weight gain in women with children, particularly those whose risk may be increased because of living in socioeconomically disadvantage neighbourhoods, are not well understood.…”

Sociodemographic and behavioural correlates of weight status among women with children living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods

et al. 2009

Objective: To investigate sociodemographic and behavioural characteristics associated with weight status among women with children living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Methods and procedures: A total of 1680 women aged 18-46 years, living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods with dependent children (aged 0-18 years), provided self-report data on height and weight and a range of sociodemographic and behavioural (for example, dietary intake, physical activity and time spent sitting) characteristics. Results: Half of the women were classified as having a healthy weight (body mass index ¼ 18.5-25). Bivariable ordinal logistic regression analyses indicated that a healthy weight status was associated with a range of sociodemographic and behavioural characteristics. In a multivariable model, a healthy weight status among women was associated with being younger and unmarried, speaking a language other than English at home, having a medium or high level of education, and a partner with a high level of education, having a high household income, spending more time engaged in leisure-time physical activity and less time spent sitting, and having a lower consumption of soft drink. Discussion: The present findings highlight that a considerable proportion of women with children living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods manage to maintain a healthy weight. Acknowledging the cross-sectional nature of this study, strategies aimed at helping women with children in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas to maintain their weight should focus on increasing physical activity, and reducing sitting time and soft drink consumption.

“…Additionally, intakes were dichotomized into meeting the fruit and vegetable national objectives of two or more fruit servings/day and three or more vegetable servings/day [24]. Use of previous objectives allowed for comparison of study results to existing research [5][6][7]25]. For the primary research goal, Kruskal-Wallis tests with two degrees of freedom assessed differences in prenatal and postnatal fruit and vegetable intake by WIC/poverty groups.…”

Objective Evaluate variation in fruit and vegetable intake by Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participation and poverty status among pregnant, and postpartum women participating in the Infant Feeding Practice Study II (IFPSII). Methods IFPSII (2005-2007) followed US women from third trimester through 1 year postpartum through mailed questionnaires measuring income, WIC participation, breastfeeding; and dietary history questionnaires (DHQ) assessing prenatal/postnatal fruit and vegetable consumption. Poverty measurements used U.S. Census Bureau Federal Poverty thresholds to calculate percent of poverty index ratio (PIR) corresponding to WIC's financial eligibility (≤185 % PIR). Comparison groups: WIC recipients; WIC eligible (≤185 % PIR), but non-recipients; and women not financially WIC eligible (>185 % PIR). IFPSII participants who completed at least one DHQ were included. Intake variation among WIC/poverty groups was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis tests and between groups by Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon tests and logistic regression. Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon tests examined postnatal intake by breastfeeding. Results Prenatal vegetable intake significantly varied by WIC/poverty groups (p = 0.04) with WIC recipients reporting significantly higher intake than women not financially WIC eligible (p = 0.02); association remained significant adjusting for confounders [odds ratio 0.66 (95 % confidence interval: 0.49-0.90)]. Prenatal fruit and postnatal consumption did not significantly differ by WIC/poverty groups. Postnatal intake was significantly higher among breastfeeding than non-breastfeeding women (fruit: p < 0.0001; vegetable: p = 0.006). Conclusions for Practice Most intakes did not significantly differ by WIC/poverty groups and thus prompts research on WIC recipient's dietary behaviors, reasons for non-participation in WIC, and the influence of the recent changes to the WIC food package.
