“…In large prospective studies, a consistent inverse association between whole-grain consumption and self-reported weight gain was reported in women (Liu et al, 2003) and men (Koh-Banerjee et al, 2004). In a prospective study among male physicians, consumption of breakfast cereals was inversely associated with selfreported weight gain (Bazzano et al, 2005). These results correspond to our cross-sectional findings in both men and women.…”

“…The association between the consumption of whole grains and several diseases has been studied (Jacobs et al, 1998;Jacobs and Gallaher, 2004;McKeown, 2004;Merchant et al, 2006), but thus far only few studies have reported on the association between whole-grain intake and BMI (McKeown et al, 2002;Koh-Banerjee and Rimm, 2003;Steffen et al, 2003) and (changes in) whole-grain intake and weight gain (Liu et al, 2003;Steffen et al, 2003;Koh-Banerjee et al, 2004;Bazzano et al, 2005) and dietary fibre intake and body weight (Slavin, 2005).…”

Objectives: To assess the association of whole-grain and (cereal) fibre intake with body mass index (BMI) and with the risk of being overweight (BMIX25) or obese (BMIX30 kg m À2 ). Subjects: A total of 2078 men and 2159 women, aged 55-69 years, were included in the analysis, after exclusion of subjects with diagnosed cancer or deceased within 1 year after baseline or with missing dietary information. Results: We found an inverse association between whole-grain consumption and BMI and risk of overweight and obesity in men as well as women. The association in men was stronger than in women; the risk of being obese as compared to normal weight was 10% (95% CI: 2-16%) and 4% (95% CI: 1-7%) lower for each additional gram of (dry) grain consumption in men and women, respectively. Fibre and cereal fibre intake were inversely associated with BMI in men only. Associations were similar after exclusion of likely under-and overreporters of energy. A retrospective analysis of baseline fibre intake and weight gain after the age of 20 years also showed a slight inverse association. Conclusions: Whole-grain consumption may protect against becoming overweight or obese; however, the cross-sectional design of the study does not allow conclusions about the causality of the association.

“…In the Women's Health Initiative observing 48 835 women over a 7-year period, low-fat diet with increased fruits, vegetable and grain consumption was associated with weight loss or prevention of weight gain (Howard et al, 2006), whereas a traditional diet in Brazil consisting Table 2 Factors associated with the development of overweight (Sichieri, 2002). Similarly, consumption of whole or refined grain breakfast cereal was inversely related to weight gain adjusting for multiple confounding factors, in 17 881 US male physicians followed up for 4-13 years (Bazzano et al, 2005). Snacks and fast foods consumption appear to be associated with overweight/ obesity in studies in Iran (Kelishadi et al, 2003), India (Ghosh et al, 2003), USA (Nicklas et al, 2003), US Latino population (Hubert et al, 2005), Chinese (Fu and Hao, 2002;Waller et al, 2003) and US children (Francis et al, 2003;Sothern, 2004).…”

“…There are few studies among Chinese populations examining the role of dietary intake, taking into account other confounding factors such as age, physical activity, gender and educational attainment. Other than the effect of total energy and macronutrient intake (Halkjaer et al, 2006) on development of overweight and obesity, recent studies have highlighted the role of dietary patterns in terms of meal frequency and timing, and types of food consumed (Kirk, 2000;Sichieri, 2002;Francis et al, 2003;Ghosh et al, 2003;Kelishadi et al, 2003;Nicklas et al, 2003;Waller et al, 2003;Bazzano et al, 2005;Hubert et al, 2005;Howard et al, 2006). For example, patterns predisposing to overweight and obesity include a 'Westernized' pattern compared with a 'traditional' pattern for the population studied (Sichieri, 2002;Ghosh et al, 2003;Hubert et al, 2005) and snacks consumption (Fu and Hao, 2002;Francis et al, 2003;Sothern, 2004;Hubert et al, 2005).…”

Objective: To examine dietary factors predisposing to overweight and obesity, taking into account age, gender, education level and physical activity. Design: Longitudinal population study. Setting: Community living subjects in Hong Kong. Subjects: One thousand and ten Chinese subjects participating in a territory wide dietary and cardiovascular risk factor prevalence survey in 1995-1996 were followed up for 5-9 years. Measurements: Body mass index (BMI) was measured. Information was collected on factors predisposing to development of overweight and obesity (age, gender, education level, physical activity, macronutrient intake, Mediterranean diet score and food variety), and the predisposing dietary factors examined, adjusted for other confounding factors, using logistic regression. Results: The 5-9-year incidence of overweight is 22.6% (BMI X23 kg/m 2 , 95% confidence interval (CI) ¼ 15.0-30.1%) or 11.5% (BMI X25 kg/m 2 , 95% CI ¼ 7.3-15.7%), and for obesity (BMI X30 kg/m 2 ) is 0.6% (95% CI ¼ À0.2-1.4%). The corresponding figures for women were 14.1% (95% CI ¼ 8.8-19.5%), 9.7% (95% CI ¼ 6.0-13.4%) and 3% (95% CI ¼ 1.3-4.8%). After adjusting for confounding factors (age, sex, education and physical activity), increased variety of snack consumption was associated with increased risk of developing overweight (BMI X23 kg/m 2 ) in the Hong Kong Chinese population over a 5-9-year period. Conclusion: Increased variety of snack consumption may predispose to weight gain over a 5-9-year period.

Ready-to-eat cereals and the burden of obesity in the context of their nutritional contribution: are all ready-to-eat cereals equally healthy? A systematic review

A significant increase in the prevalence of obesity has occurred worldwide and the importance of considering the role of diet in the prevention and treatment of obesity is widely acknowledged. A growing body of evidence encourages the consumption of ready-to-eat cereals (RTEC) as part of a healthful diet. Research has shown an inverse association between the consumption of RTEC and the rate of obesity. However, other findings claim that this association was only attributed to the consumption of whole-grain cereals and not the refined-grain ones. Although meta-analyses of clinical trials support the use of a low-glycaemic index diet on weight loss, findings from other studies on the effect of the dietary glycaemic index on body weight have not been consistent. Thus, further research into the role of glycaemic index in the prevention and management of obesity and chronic disease is needed. Moreover, significant differences have been observed in composition among the marketed RTEC. In light of the revealing protective role of whole-grain, fibre-rich, low-energy-dense and low-glycaemic index/glycaemic load foods against obesity, public health professionals could drive their efforts towards the promotion of even more healthier RTEC when issuing advice on weight management. It seems, however, that despite any differences in their composition, the frequent consumption of RTEC due to their nutritional contribution is recommended in moderation and under the current recommendations in the context of a healthy balanced diet.
