The results showed no significant relationship between dairy or calcium intake and weight and waist circumference as well as prevalence of obesity, central adiposity, and excess weight (P>0.05). Moreover, the mean value of dairy product consumption was 444.24 g/day. The mean values of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference were 21.54 kg/m(2) and 70.37 cm, respectively. The prevalence of obesity, central adiposity, and excess weight was 1.7, 0.9, and 8.1%, respectively. Physical activity was evaluated by recording daily physical activities. A previously validated semiquantitative food questionnaire was used to assess their entire dietary component intake. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 236 healthy female university students in the age range of 18 and 30 years who were selected randomly from among the students at the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the consumption of dairy products and prevalence of obesity and central obesity in young female university students at the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Several studies have addressed the relationship between nutritional factors and general and central adiposity. Although genetics is one of the factors associated with obesity, its predisposing factors include nutritional and environmental factors. Nowadays, obesity is considered a worldwide problem. This linkage relates to the intake of milk, but not to other dairy products. The study confirms the inverse relationship between daily dietary calcium intake and obesity. The mean calcium intake was 511.5 +/- 301.8 mg for group A, 499.4 +/- 283.7 mg for group B, and 464.7 +/- 280.1 mg for group C (group A significantly differed from group C, P or = 88 cm (P< 0.03).
Waist circumference was measured in 2601 participants (1760 men and 841 women) and was considered to be excessive if > or = 102 cm for men or > or = 88 cm for women. These were divided into three groups according to their BMI (group A or = 30) and given a 24 hour dietary recall questionnaire. Of the 3246 survey participants, height and weight measurements were recorded for 2782 (1371 men and 1411 women).
MABAT was a cross-sectional survey based on a random sample of 3246 Israelis aged 25 to 64. To assess the association between calcium intake, body mass index and waist circumference in Israel. It has been suggested that increased calcium intake plays a role in preventing obesity and promoting weight loss.
