Comparison of daily energy and macronutrient intake as assessed by the FFQ between the non-obese and abdominal-obese groups.
| Non-Obese (N = 38) |
Abdominal-Obese (N = 30) |
Unadjusted | Sex and Age-Adjusted | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| p Value | p Value | |||
| Energy, kcal/day | 1824.5 ± 187.4 | 2187.3 ± 206.6 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
| Non-fiber carbohydrate, g/day | 242.6 ± 22.9 | 268.3 ± 35.3 | <0.001 | 0.034 |
| Fat, g/day | 56.2 ± 4.8 | 64.7 ± 3.5 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
| Protein, g/day | 71.9 ± 6.1 | 86.5 ± 5.9 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
| Dietary fiber, g/day | 13.0 ± 1.1 | 18.7 ± 2.4 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
Daily energy and macronutrient intakes were assessed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The data are presented as the mean ± SD. p values were calculated using Student’s t-test. Multiple regression analysis was performed with age and sex as covariates.
