Abstract

Obesity is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. There are significant and mutual associations between lymphatic dysfunction and obesity. This case-control study aimed to compare nutrient intake, depressive symptoms, and Eysenck’s personality traits in patients with lower extremity lymphedema and overweight/obesity (n = 34) in comparison to patients with lifestyle-induced overweight/obesity (n = 30) and patients with normal body weight (n = 30). The study groups were evaluated using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Beck Depression Inventory-II, and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R). Surprisingly, the study groups did not differ in any item in the FFQ, including total daily energy value and total intake of macronutrients, vitamins, or minerals. The group with lymphedema and overweight/obesity had higher scores on the depression scale, and the groups with lymphedema and overweight/obesity and lifestyle-induced overweight/obesity differed from the control group in Eysenck’s psychoticism score; however, in all study groups, the scores of this trait were within the normal range. In conclusion, our study suggests that when FFQ is used, the problem of under-reporting of usual dietary intake among patients with lower extremity lymphedema and overweight/obesity, and lifestyle-induced overweight/obesity should be considered.

期刊介绍： The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.
