“…Several authors have noted the significant relationship between socioeconomic status and obesity [9,11]. This finding is in agreement with the results of a study by Corey and Nance [4] which, although it did not directly examine socieoeconomic status effects, found a significant paternal effect on body weight which was apparently environmental in origin. This study also found a significant maternal effect which appeared to be qualitatively different from the observed paternal effect.…”

As a part of a study of the dietary habits of monozygotic twins, a nutrition survey including a 24-hour dietary recall interview and a three-day dietary diary was conducted on the members of 15 male and 13 female pairs of identical Caucasian twins ranging from 25 to 61 years of age. In this study, overall mean caloric, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake of males was significantly greater than females. Members of male twin pairs also tended to be more similar than female twins in mean intake of all major nutrient groups. In general, the observed differences in overall intake between males and females were maintained even after adjustment of body weight. Male twins were characterized by greater similarity in intake of sodium and potassium; however, there was no consistent difference in the degree of correlation in intakes of members of male and female twins for either iron, calcium or phosphorus.

“…Through a standardized nutritionist-administered, crosschecked, dietary history interview adapted from the method of Burke (23) and validated in the Framingham study (24,25), data on usual alcohol consumption and other dietary factors at baseline (examination 1) were collected. At examinations 2 and 3 (26), alcohol consumption data were again collected.…”

“…The dietary intake data used in this study was derived from a diet history interview. The diet history interview uses an open-ended interview approach and probes to encourage participants to describe their usual food consumption from the first meal of the day to the end of the day [ 53 ]. Although such information did focus on food choices at self-defined meals, the richness of food intake data allowed us to capture food choices associated with avocados at meal occasions [ 54 ], which may not be captured when using other dietary assessment methods, such as FFQs.…”

Identifying usual food choices with avocados in a clinical trial cohort of overweight and obese adults in Australia

Background Consumption of avocados has been suggested to be beneficial for weight control, however, limited research is available about the related food choices. Understanding the food choices associated with avocados at meal occasions may further aid behavioural strategies to lose weight. The present study used a systematic approach to develop an avocado-specific food database, with the aim to explore food choices related to avocados at meal occasions as reported by overweight and obese volunteers in weight loss clinical trials. Methods The avocado-specific database was based on AUSNUT 2011–13 food composition database structure and was developed via a systematic approach, which determined the avocado content of Australian foods and beverages. Baseline usual food intake data was retrospectively pooled from four food-based clinical trials (n = 758). The Apriori algorithm of association rules, a two-step descriptive method was used to identify food choices associated with avocados at different meal occasions using a nested hierarchical food group classification system. Results The avocado database identified 34 avocados and avocado-containing foods and beverages. The proportion of avocado consumers in the pooled cohort was 51.3% (n = 389), with an average avocado intake of 21.57 ± 36.75 grams per day. Avocados were found to be closely related to other food groups at all of the food group levels at main meal occasions. A total of 68 food items containing avocados were identified for avocado consumers at the breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. Conclusion The avocado specific database provides a snapshot of the foods and beverages which contain avocados. Enumerating the full range of food choices in relation to avocado consumption should provide examples of food choices that people might consider in their efforts to increase their avocado consumption.
