Diet and Obesity among Chamorro and Filipino Adults on Guam
关岛查莫洛人和菲律宾人的饮食和肥胖症
摘要
本研究的目的是比较居住在关岛年龄为25-65岁成年的查莫洛人（n=66）和菲律宾人（n=61）的身体容积指数（BMI）和饮食摄入量。参加人员是通过社区采样被招聘的。但招聘却是以确保每一个民族有大约相同的数目，在同一民族中有同等数目的男性和女性，并在岛上能成比例地代表主要地区为目标的。此外，受试者的招聘和分配是基于2000年关岛人口统计数据并保证年龄成比例分布。饮食能量密度（ED）是按千卡／克计算并以性别，民族，和肥胖状态作比较。查莫洛人的平均身体容积指数显著高于菲律宾人，而且与菲律宾人（20%）相比查莫洛人（49%）有显著高的肥胖症。查莫洛人报告ED高于菲律宾人（1.9千卡／克对1.6千卡／克），尽管显著的差异只表现在男性中。非肥胖受试者的ED低于肥胖受试者（1.9千卡／克对2.3千卡／克）。超重和肥胖受试者都报告饮用蔗糖甜味饮料的能量%显著高于正常体重受试者（8%和9%对3%）。在关岛的查莫洛人和菲律宾人中间，特别在男性当中，ED的差异可以归因于肥胖的差异。降低ED可以作为营养干预的一个恰当的目标。

The purpose of this study was to compare the body mass index (BMI) and dietary intakes of Chamorro (n=66) and Filipino (n=61) adults, ages 25-65 years, living in Guam. Participants were recruited via community-based sampling; however, recruitment was targeted to ensure approximately equal numbers from each ethnic group, equal numbers of men and women within each ethnic group, and proportional representation of the main geographic areas of the island. In addition, subjects were recruited and stratified based on the 2000 Guam Census Data to assure proportional distribution by age. Dietary energy density (ED) was calculated as kcal/g and compared by gender, ethnicity, and obesity status. Mean BMI for Chamorros was significantly higher than for Filipinos, and a significantly higher proportion of Chamorros (49%) were obese compared to Filipinos (20%). Chamorros reported higher ED than Filipinos (1.9 kcal/g versus 1.6 kcal/g), although the difference was significant among males only. Non-obese subjects had a lower ED than obese subjects (1.9 versus 2.3 kcal/g). Overweight and obese subjects both reported a significantly higher % energy consumed as sugar-sweetened beverages than healthy weight subjects (8% and 9% versus 3%). Differences in ED may contribute to differences in obesity rates between Chamorros and Filipinos in Guam, particularly among men, and lowering ED may be an appropriate goal for nutrition interventions.
