abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of responses to a carbohydrate intolerance (CI) questionnaire to body composition and markers of health. 108 women (31.613 yrs, 34.77% body fat, BMI 25.34) donated fasting blood samples, had body composition and health measures determined, and underwent a 75g, 2h OGTT. Being less than 25 lbs overweight correlated with age (r=0.19) and DBP (r=0.27). Getting hungry at meals correlated with BMI (r=0.23), antisocial behavior (r=0.37) and having a poor appetite/skipping meals (r=0.39). Having few food cravings correlated with waist circumference (r=0.20), mental confusion (r=0.23), being 25 lbs overweight (r=0.27), having temporary food cravings (r=0.23), and must have foods (r=0.30). Consistent eating habits correlated with RHR (r=0.22), FFM (r=0.19), being overweight throughout life (r=0.20), and skipping meals (r=0.20). Eating 3 times/d correlated with OGTT glucose AUC (r=0.91), antisocial behavior (r=0.19), being overemotional (r=0.21), leg cramps/blurred vision (r=0.27), drowsiness (r=0.19), and skipping meals (r=0.43). Maintaining weight gain correlated with waist (r=0.21) and hip (r=0.20) circumference, fat mass (r=0.21), body fat (r=0.22), headaches (r=0.20), mental confusion (r=0.28), leg cramps/blurred vision (r=0.28), and yawning (r=0.26). Results revealed that CI questions moderately correlated with body composition, health markers, and/or questions related to CI.Grant Funding Source: Curves International, Inc. (Waco, TX)
