Dietary Quality Changes According to the Preceding Maximum Weight: A Longitudinal Analysis in the PREDIMED-Plus Randomized Trial Bouzas, Cristina Bueno Cavanillas, Aurora Body image Dietary pattern Maximum weight Mediterranean diet PREDIMED-Plus One-year dietary quality change according to the preceding maximum weight in a lifestyle intervention program (PREDIMED-Plus trial, 55–75-year-old overweight or obese adults; n = 5695) was assessed. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. A total of 3 groups were made according to the difference between baseline measured weight and lifetime maximum reported weight: (a) participants entering the study at their maximum weight, (b) moderate weight loss maintainers (WLM), and (c) large WLM. Data were analyzed by General Linear Model. All participants improved average lifestyle. Participants entering the study at their maximum weight were the most susceptible to improve significantly their dietary quality, assessed by adherence to Mediterranean diet, DII and both healthful and unhealthful provegetarian patterns. People at maximum weight are the most benefitted in the short term by a weight management program. Long term weight loss efforts may also reduce the effect of a weight management program. 2020-11-23T08:33:54Z 2020-11-23T08:33:54Z 2020 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Bouzas C, Bibiloni MM, Garcia S, Mateos D, Martínez-González MÁ, Salas-Salvadó J, Corella D, Schröder H, Martínez JA, Alonso-Gómez ÁM, Wärnberg J, Vioque J, Romaguera D, Lopez-Miranda J, Estruch R, Tinahones FJ, Lapetra J, Serra-Majem L, Bueno-Cavanillas A, Micó-Pérez RM, Pintó X, Delgado-Rodríguez M, Ortíz-Ramos M, Altés-Boronat A, Luca BL, Daimiel L, Ros E, Sayon-Orea C, Becerra-Tomás N, Gimenez-Alba IM, Castañer O, Abete I, Tojal-Sierra L, Pérez-López J, Bernabé-Casanova A, Martin-Padillo M, Garcia-Rios A, Castro-Barquero S, Fernández-García JC, Santos-Lozano JM, Fernandez-Lazaro CI, Hernández-Alonso P, Saiz C, Zomeño MD, Zulet MA, Belló-Mora MC, Basterra-Gortari FJ, Canudas S, Goday A, Tur JA on behalf of the PREDIMED-Plus investigators.
