Alcohol and macronutrient intake patterns are related to general and central adiposity

Background/Objectives: Alcohol and dietary fat have high energy densities and may therefore be related to body weight and fat deposition. We studied associations between alcohol and macronutrient intake patterns and general and central adiposity. Subjects/Methods: A population-based cross-sectional...

Zusammenfassung:	Background/Objectives: Alcohol and dietary fat have high energy densities and may therefore be related to body weight and fat deposition. We studied associations between alcohol and macronutrient intake patterns and general and central adiposity. Subjects/Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study of 524 men and 611 women. The participants answered a dietary questionnaire describing habitual food consumption including intake of alcoholic beverages. Macronutrient intake was analysed in relation to anthropometric measures and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry determined body fat. Results: In women, total alcohol intake was negatively associated with body fat percentage (β:−0.67, P
