| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluation of nutrient intake status and dietary quality in university female students with normal weight obesity (NWO) and Obesity. The term "NWO" described those individuals with normal weight and BMI (< 25kg/m2) with increased BF% (>30%). The subjects were 27 obese university female students (NWO n=14, Obesity n=13). The dietary intakes were obtained using a food frequency questionnaire. Metabolic Syndrome risk factors were no significant difference. Waist Circumference was higher than 85cm in both groups. All nutrient intake were significantly higher in obesity groups than NWO groups (p<.05). Balanced energy ratios of carbohydrate, protein and fat were noted in both groups. There is a big difference between energy of most intake on weeks and energy of the least intake on weeks (p<.001). With regards to dietary quality, Nutrient adequacy ratio(NAR) in NWO group was significantly lower than Obesity group (p<.05). MAR values for NWO group and Obesity group was 0.61 and 0.78, respectively and revealed a statistical significance (p<.01). |
