abstract = {Background. Body weight dissatisfaction is a hindrance to following a healthy lifestyle
and it has been associated with weight concerns. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the
association between the adherence to the Mediterranean lifestyle (diet and exercise) and the desired
body weight loss in an adult Mediterranean population with overweight. Methods. Cross-sectional
analysis in 6355 participants (3268 men; 3087 women) with metabolic syndrome and BMI (Body
mass index) between 27.0 and 40.0 kg/m2
(55–75 years old) from the PREDIMED-Plus trial. Desired
weight loss was the percentage of weight that participants wished to lose. It was categorized
into four cut-offs of this percentage (Q1: <10%, n = 1495; Q2: 10–15%, n = 1804; Q3: <15–20%,
n = 1470; Q4: ≥20%, n = 1589). Diet was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire
and a 17-item Mediterranean diet questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed by the validated
Minnesota-REGICOR and the validated Spanish version of the Nurses’ Health Study questionnaire.
Results. Participants reporting higher percentages of desired weight loss (Q3 and Q4) were younger,
had higher real and perceived BMI and were more likely to have abdominal obesity. Desired weight
loss correlated inversely to physical activity (Q1: 2106 MET min/week; Q4: 1585 MET min/week. p < 0.001) and adherence to Mediterranean diet (Q1: 8.7; Q4: 8.3. p < 0.001). Conclusions. In older
Mediterranean individuals with weight excess, desired weight loss was inversely associated with
Mediterranean lifestyle adherence. Deeply rooted aspects of the MedDiet remained similar across
groups. Longitudinal research is advised to be able to establish causality.},
