“…A previous study within the MDC study has observed that the increased relative risk for cardiovascular disease mortality with higher body fat % was reduced by leisure-time physical activity. 22 Our results indicate that this group probably needs even higher degree of physical activity in order to decrease mortality. It is however important to with fat intake were adjusted for age, sex, energy intake, season and diet method version.…”

“…History of coronary event or stroke was identified through local and national registries. 22 Individuals with dietary change in the past are suspected to have unstable food habits. 23,24 Dietary change in the past (yes/no) was derived from the questionnaire item: 'Have you substantially changed your eating habits because of illness or for some other reason?'…”

Association between fat intake, physical activity and mortality depending on genetic variation in FTO

et al. 2010

Objective: We wanted to explore if FTO genotype interacts with fat intake, or leisure-time physical activity, on fat mass, lean mass and mortality. Subjects and methods: Among 22 799 individuals (44-74 years) in the population-based Malmö diet and cancer cohort that were genotyped for rs9939609 in FTO and had information on dietary intake (from a modified diet history method) and no history of diabetes, cancer or cardiovascular disease, 2255 deaths (including 1100 cancer and 674 cardiovascular deaths) occurred during 12.0 years of follow-up. Leisure-time physical activity was determined from a list of 17 different physical activities in a questionnaire. Body composition was measured using bioelectric impedance method. Results: FTO genotype associated strongly with both fat mass and lean mass (P trend o1 Â 10 À16 for both) but we found only significant interactions with fat intake, or physical activity, on fat mass (P interaction ¼ 0.01 and 0.004). No significant interaction between FTO genotype and fat intake (P interaction ¼ 0.72), or leisure-time physical activity (P interaction ¼ 0.07), on total mortality were observed. However, we observed a significant interaction between leisure-time physical activity and FTO genotype on cardiovascular mortality (P interaction ¼ 0.03). The highest vs lowest quintile of physical activity was associated with 46% (95% confidence interval, 17-64%) reduced cardiovascular mortality among TT-carriers (P trend ¼ 0.004), and 11% reduced cardiovascular mortality among A-allele carriers (P trend ¼ 0.68). Conclusion: Our results indicate that FTO genotype associates with both fat mass and lean mass, but the level of fat intake and physical activity only modify the association with fat mass. In addition, FTO genotype may modify the association between physical activity and cardiovascular mortality.

“…The results are interesting both from an economic point of view and from the point of view of consumer's health. Studies have demonstrated that such higher lean-to-fat ratios improve overall health profile and reduce risk of heart attack, stroke and death from cardiovascular diseases in humans (Calling et al, 2006).…”

Accumulation of body fat is the major problem associated with initiation of various diseases in fast growing broiler chickens. Methods to restrict the accumulation of body fat have met with limited success. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Avocado Non-Saponifiable Fraction (NSF) in broiler chicken (from day 14 for 27 days) on body fat accumulation, growth performance, organ weight and plasma lipid profile. Supplementation of avocado NSF for 27 days has resulted in positive changes in plasma lipid profile with 50% decrease of abdominal fat and 33.8% increase in body weight compared with normal control chickens. The Avocado NSF improved body composition in broilers through higher lean-to-fat ratio and hence has a potential to improve overall health profile and reduce metabolic diseases in chickens.

“…5 The magnitude of the inverse association with CVD was generally similar to that observed for CHD. These studies of CVD were conducted in the United States (7 studies), 19,[42][43][44][45][46][47] Finland (3), 34,48,49 the United Kingdom (3), 30,50,51 Germany (2), 52,53 Sweden (2), 54,55 Norway (1), 41 Canada (1), 38 and China (1). 56 These studies included Ͼ68 000 men and Ͼ347 000 women in gender-specific analyses and Ͼ88 000 men and women in analyses that combined both genders.…”

Effects of body fatness and physical activity on cardiovascular risk: Risk prediction using the bioelectrical impedance method

Abstract: BF% is a risk factor for CE, ischaemic stroke, and CVD mortality. An interaction between BF% and sex suggests that BF% is a stronger CVD risk factor in women. The raised cardiovascular risk associated with high BF% is reduced by physical activity.
