TABLE 3.
MRI-determined volumes of VAT and SAT and their ratio by quantiles of the intake of anthocyanin-rich foods in PopGen participants1
| Quantile 1 | Quantile 2 | Quantile 3 | Quantile 4 | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAT, dm3 | 6.5 (6.2, 6.9) | 5.9 (5.6, 6.2) | 6.0 (5.7, 6.3) | 6.3 (5.9, 6.6) | 0.60 |
| VAT, dm3 | 3.9 (3.7, 4.2) | 3.5 (3.3, 3.7) | 3.3 (3.2, 3.5) | 3.5 (3.3, 3.7) | 0.02 |
| VAT:SAT, dm3 | 0.60 (0.57, 0.64) | 0.60 (0.57, 0.63) | 0.56 (0.53, 0.58) | 0.56 (0.54, 0.59) | 0.03 |
n = 618. Values are geometric means (95% CIs). Models adjusted for sex; age (y); smoking (never, former, current); physical activity (metabolic equivalents per week); height (cm); use of vitamin or mineral supplements (yes or no); education level (none or primary/middle school, secondary school or college/further education); daily intakes (in tertiles) of energy (kcal), polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fat (g/d), fiber (g/d), alcohol (g/d), and carbonated drinks (frequency/d); and the ratio of energy intake to estimated energy requirements. P value calculated using ANCOVA. Foods rich in anthocyanins include red wine, strawberries, and other berries (red currants, blackberries, blueberries). SAT, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue; VAT, visceral abdominal adipose tissue.
