Abstract
Objective: Dietary diversity and eating behaviour are recognised as factors influencing body composition; however, their association with fat-free mass index and body fat mass index remains unclear.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analysed the relationships among body composition indices (BMI, FFMI, BFMI), self-reported eating speed, and dietary diversity in 10 644 healthy adults aged 18-64 years (4419 women and 6225 men; mean age 41.9 years) who visited hospitals for health checkups.
Results: The dietary variety score showed a positive association with muscle mass in men and a significant negative association with body fat mass index in women (fat-free mass index: β = 0.03, 95% confidence interval: 0.01 to 0.05, p = 0.04; body fat mass index: β = -0.07, 95% confidence interval: -0.15 to -0.01, p < 0.01). Regarding eating speed, a consistent trend was observed in both sexes: the fast-eating group showed significantly higher body mass index, fat-free mass index, and body fat mass index values (p < 0.01), whereas the slow-eating group had lower values.
Conclusions: These associations were more pronounced in men than in women. Both dietary diversity and eating speed were associated with body composition indices, with notable sex-related differences. These findings suggest that dietary behaviour and diversity may influence body composition.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
