Description
Summary:Background and objectives: Overweight and obesity have achieved high rates in children and adolescents across the world. A diet quality index (DQI) is a useful tool that provides an overall score of an individual's dietary intake when assessing compliance with food-based dietary guidelines. Moreover, family life plays an important role in developing eating behaviors and dietary intake in children and adolescents. This study was aimed to assess the associations between DQI and family meals in adolescents included in a comprehensive therapy for obesity. Methods: Multi-intervention approach (diet, physical activity and psychological support in a family-group-based treatment- EVASYON) was implemented within a one-year intervention in 13-to-16-year-old overweight or obese Spanish adolescents. A total of 67 adolescents, 31 females, were included in the present study, whose energy intake and BMI had been measured at baseline. In the EVASYON study, diet quality index was calculated from food frequency questionnaire at baseline, 6 and 13 months of follow-up. Family meal was assessed from dietary history reported from parents at baseline, 2, 6 and 13 months of treatment. In the present study, we evaluate the diet quality index and family meals after 6 months of intervention. Data are shown as means and SD for continuous variables and frequency and percentages for categorical variables). U-Mann Whitney and Chi-squared tests were performed. Signification level was established at p
