Abstract

BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in health behaviors and dietary habits between the metabolically healthy group and the metabolically abnormal group in overweight and obese subjects based on the data of National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES).
METHODS
Using the NHANES data (2007-2010), a total of 18,188 subjects were grouped into the metabolically healthy group and the abnormal group using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) definition. Then we compared their health behaviors, dietary behaviors and nutrient intakes after adjustment for variables in overweight and obese groups.
RESULTS
The proportion of metabolic abnormalities tended to increase with increasing age in both overweight and obesity groups.(P for trend <0.001) After adjusting various confounding variables, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of skipping any meal and breakfast for metabolically abnormality were 1.318 (1.066-1.631) and 1.354 (1.076-1.705) in male obese group and those of skipping breakfast and carbonated drink intake were 1.578 (1.168-2.133) and 1.540 (1.188-2.492) in female obese group. Daily potassium intake (P=0.032) and daily vitamin C intake (P=0.048) in the male overweight group and daily water intake (P=0.046) and daily carbohydrate intake (P=0.038) in the female overweight group were associated with metabolically abnormality.
CONCLUSIONS
There were differences in health behaviors and nutrient intake according to metabolically abnormality in overweight and obese groups.
