10. 2,767 participants from Los Angeles County and
Southern Louisiana
Mean servings were 438 in LAC and 617 in SL
These results exceeded the expectations by more than
60% in LAC and 120% in SL!!
The mean consumption of fruit and vegetables fell
10% short in LAC and 20% in SL
14. 3598 girls and 3347 boys from the Northern Finland
Birth Cohort 1986 with 16 years age.
Stress-related eating was common among girls (43%)
than boys (15%).
Stress-driven eaters had a higher prevalence of
overweight, obesity and abdominal obesity.
15. Limitations
The strength of this study was the large population-based
cohort, BMI and waist circumference measurements.
The study didn’t cover wide age range to make its results
general to the human behaviors
16.
17.
18. 228 tract in Los Angeles County and in Southeastern
Louisiana aged between 18 to 98 years old.
25% of the adults obese, while 35% were overweight
and 40% were of normal weight.
They all drank in average 350 mill-liter can per day.
For every 10% increase in food advertisements, the
odds of being obese increased by 5%
In an area with 30% food ads, 38.0% would be
overweight and 25.2% would be obese
19. Limitations
The study didn’t cover the diversity of the other communities
outside the United States to generalize its findings.
The age range was very wide.
