| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS YUR0x4s7. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Few studies have examined the association between dieting and weight change in general population and results have been inconsistent. To the best of our knowledge, no such study has been done in middle-aged African Americans. We examined 10,554 white and African American men and women who were participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and attended examinations between 1986 and 1994. We found that the prevalence of dieting in white women, white men, African American women, and African American men was 6.5,2.3,3.5, and 0.9%, respectively. After controlling for the covariates, the difference in the mean annual weight gain between dieters and non-dieters was 0.61,0.46, and 0.59 kg/year among white women, white men, and African American women, respectively. In conclusion, in this cohort of white men and women and African American women aged 45-64 years, self-reported dieting was associated with a larger mean annual weight gain than non-dieting over a period of 6 years. |
