Reproducibility and validity of an FFQ to assess usual intake of methyl-group donors
Objective To develop and validate a novel FFQ to assess the daily intake of four methyl-group donors (methionine, choline, betaine and folate). Design The relative validity of the FFQ was assessed by comparison with 7 d estimated diet records ( n 80) and its reproducibility was evaluated by repeated administrations 6 weeks apart ( n 92). Paired Student t tests were used to compare group means and de-attenuated intra-class correlations to investig…
The effect of pre-pregnancy BMI on intention, initiation and duration of breast-feeding
Objective To determine whether pre-pregnancy BMI influences breast-feeding practice. Design Retrospective epidemiological study. Setting University Hospital Leuven, Catholic University Leuven, Belgium. Subjects Two hundred women (median age 29 years, interquartile range (IQR) 4; 52 % nulliparae) were grouped into four categories according to pre-pregnancy BMI using WHO cut-offs. Results The incidence of intention and initiation of breast-feeding …
Trends in the evolution of BMI in Belgian army men
Objectives The first aim was to evaluate BMI cross-sectionally over a period of 14 years (1992 to 2005) in 43 343 army men and the second was to compare BMI using the paired data of 1497 army men. The data were analysed as a function of the military ranking system, used as an indicator for socio-economic position. Design Multiple cross-sectional and longitudinal design. Results A significant increase of BMI between age categories was detected ove…
Health‐related quality of life in physically active and sedentary obese women
The aim was to assess dimensions of health‐related quality of life (HRQL) in women attending an obesity clinic, and to rate differences in HRQL in those with the highest and lowest levels of physical activity (PA). The sample included 113 sedentary and 101 physically active subjects from a total sample of 375 overweight women 16–65 years, with a body mass index (BMI) ≥27.5 kg/m 2 consulting at an outpatient Endocrinology Clinic, and 82 lean femal…
