Increased dietary fructose intake is associated with body weight and BMI elevation, and this study found correlations between dietary fructose intake and fat distribution in adults of different genders and menopausal statuses.
Objective: Increased dietary fructose intake is associated with elevated body weight and body mass index. Few studies are available regarding the relationship between fat distribution and dietary fructose intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dietary fructose intake and fat distribution in adults in a large Newfoundland cohort. Methods: We analyzed 2298 adults from CODING (Complex Diseases in the New found land Population: Environment and Genetics) study. Intake of dietary fructose was evaluated from the Willett food frequency questionnaire. Fat distribution was estimated by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Partial correlation analysis was used to determine the correlations of dietary fructose intake with fat distribution adjusted for major confounding factors. Results: Daily dietary fructose intake was negatively associated with arm fat in postmenopausal women (r =-0.080, P < 0.05), but positively associated with arm fat in premenopausal women after adjusting for age, total calorie intake, and physical activity levels (r = 0.079, P < 0.05). Dietary fructose intake was negatively correlated with both arm fat (r =-0.131, P < 0.05) and visceral fat (r =-0.124 measured in mass, r =-0.124 measured in volume respectively; P < 0.05) in men 45 y of age, not in men 45 y. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that dietary fructose intake is significantly correlated with arm fat in both women and men, and visceral fat in men in the Newfoundland free-living population. The correlations are sex-and menopause-status dependent. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
