Mean percent body fat, metabolic risk cluster z scores, and insulin levels were significantly greater with weekly purchases of family dinner from fast-food restaurants (P<0.05).
Mean percent body fat, metabolic risk cluster z scores, and high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly higher for families who purchased weekly family dinner from takeout sources (P<0.05).
At the mean percent body fat of 38.9%, the estimated CRP based on the adjusted model is 1.6 mg/L.
Mean percent body fat mass increased 4.3% ± 1.3% (P = 0.002) after 3 months, while percent lean body mass decreased 1.4% ± 0.5% (P = 0.006).
The mean age was 34.7 years (range, 17.9 65.6 years), mean BMI was 29.6 kg/m, mean percent body fat was 34.7%, and 72.3% of the cohort were female.
Compared to boys, the mean BMI was higher in girls whereas the mean percent body fat was lower (p-values <0.0001).
In contrast, the mean percent body fat in the AVGP group was significantly lower compared with the placebo group after 8 weeks (P=0.036).
The mean BMI for girls was also significantly higher (17.9 vs. 16.0 kg/m) compared to the boys, but their mean percent body fat was significantly lower (16.3 vs. 17.3%) (p-values: <0.0001).
Among women in our study, there was a significant increase in mean percent body fat of 0.6% over the 36 months (P = 0.002), whereas body weight did not change significantly.
Mean percent total body fat declined by 3.7%% in women and 0.3 % in men, and percent trunk fat declined by 2.5%% in women and 1.2 % in men by week 24 of SEISMIC.
