  1. Differential Impact of Diet and Physical Activity on Components of metabolic Syndrome in a Multi-Ethnic Sample of Children Krista Casazza, PhD, RD: University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Akilah Dulin-Keita, PhD: UAB Barbara A Gower, PhD: UAB Jose R Fernandez, PhD: UAB JOURNAL OF THEAMERICAN DIETETICASSOCIATION Casazza K, et al.

  2. Differential Impact of Diet and Physical Activity on Components of Metabolic Syndrome in a Multi-Ethnic Samples of Children Objective • This study sought to examine the contribution of diet and physical activity patterns on the metabolic syndrome and its components in children. JOURNAL OF THEAMERICAN DIETETICASSOCIATION Casazza K, et al. J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109 (Feb).

  3. Differential Impact of Diet and Physical Activity on Components of Metabolic Syndrome in a Multi-Ethnic Samples of Children Design • Observational, cross-sectional study • Diet assessed by two 24-hour recalls • Physical activity assessed by accelerometry • Body composition assessed by dual-energy absorptiometry • Glucose and lipids assessed using fasting sera JOURNAL OF THEAMERICAN DIETETICASSOCIATION Casazza K, et al. J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109 (Feb).

  4. Differential Impact of Diet and Physical Activity on Components of Metabolic Syndrome in a Multi-Ethnic Samples of Children Results • A greater intake of energy from carbohydrate was related to a greater waist circumference and higher concentrations of triglyceride particularly among African Americans (AA). • Fat intake was associated with a lower waist circumference and with lower concentrations of triglyceride in European Americans and AA, but not Hispanic Americans. • Total physical activity was associated with few improvements in metabolic syndrome risk factors. JOURNAL OF THEAMERICAN DIETETICASSOCIATION Casazza K, et al. J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109 (Feb).

  5. Differential Impact of Diet and Physical Activity on Components of Metabolic Syndrome in a Multi-Ethnic Samples of Children Conclusions • The results of this study indicate that diet composition was more closely related to the components of the metabolic syndrome than was physical activity, with dietary fat inversely associated with reduced metabolic syndrome components and carbohydrate intake being adversely related to waist circumference, triglycerides, and glucose JOURNAL OF THEAMERICAN DIETETICASSOCIATION Casazza K, et al. J Am Diet Assoc. 2009;109 (Feb).
