Study finds most adults seeking to lose weight overestimate the healthiness of their diet American_Heart PittTweet UUtah diet health weight lifestyle
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaNov 2 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. A recent study soon to be presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2022*, researchers evaluated the dietary patterns of adults seeking weight loss and residing in the greater Pittsburgh city of Pennsylvania.
About the study In the present study, researchers assessed the dietary intake of adult weight loss-seeking Pittsburgh residents. Twenty-four-hour food record data of all individuals for two days at each time interval were analyzed. Diet qualities at the commencement and termination of the analysis were self-scored by the participants. The differences between the starting and terminal scores were considered the perceived dietary change. A ≤6.0-point difference between the HEI scores calculated by the researchers and the perceived scores determined by the participants was considered to be in good agreement.
The study author, Jessica Cheng, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research fellow in general internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and in epidemiology at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston said, “We found that while people generally know that fruits and vegetables are healthy, there may be a disconnect between what researchers and health care professionals consider to be a healthy and balanced diet compared to what the public thinks is a healthy and balanced diet.
