abstract = {Diet is a key factor for obesity development; however, limited data are available on
dietary cluster analysis in children with obesity. We aimed to assess the associations between dietary
patterns and obesity and several cardiometabolic markers. Anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance,
blood pressure and plasma biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation and endothelial damage
were determined in 674 Caucasian children, aged 5–16, with normal or excess weight. Using a food
frequency questionnaire and cluster analysis, two consistent dietary patterns were shown, labeled as
health conscious (HC) and sweet and processed (SP). The HC pattern included a greater proportion of
participants with overweight/obesity than the SP cluster (80.1% vs. 63.8%). However, children with
obesity within the HC cluster, showed less abdominal fat, through waist to hip (0.93 vs. 0.94) and
waist to height (0.61 vs. 0.63) indexes (p < 0.01). Univariate general models showed several additional
di erences in cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in the global and stratified analyses, with a healthier
profile being observed mainly in the HC cluster. However, multivariate models questioned these
findings and pointed out the need for further studies in this field. Anyhow, our findings support the
benefits of a healthy diet and highlight the importance of dietary patterns in the cardiometabolic risk
assessment of children with overweight/obesity, beyond weight control.},
