Relationships between the Planetary Health Diet Index, its food groups, and polygenic risk of obesity in the CARTaGENE cohort by Guiomar Masip, Daiva E. Nielsen

“…Moreover, among males, whole grains intake partly mediated the association between the PRS-Khera and outcomes cross-sectionally (BMI: 1.28%, p = 0.03; WC: 1.71%, p = 0.02; body fat %: 2.19%, p = 0.02) and longitudinally (BMI: 3.80%, p = 0.02; WC: 7.38%, p = 0.04), but some observations were attenuated upon correction for multiple comparisons. Conclusions PHDI adherence was associated with a lower BMI, WC, and body fat % and genetic susceptibility to obesity was partly mediated by the intake of red meat and whole grains. …”
