The purposes of this study were to analyze differences in blood pressure, lipid profiles, fasting plasma glucose, uric acid, dietary habits, and nutrient intake among Taiwanese high school students in different body shape groups, and to examine correlations between the parents' and their children's body shapes. Data of this study were extracted from a database of the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan(NAHSIT IV). A sample of 1029 high school students in Taiwan was analyzed. Body shapes were divided into 3 groups of underweight, normal, and overweight/obese according to the adolescents' own definition of obesity. The results showed that male and female students' systolic pressure and pulse pressure were significantly higher among overweight/obese groups than in the other groups. Male students who were overweight/obese had significantly higher total cholesterol (TC). Students who were overweight/obese had significantly higher triglycerides(TGs), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), a TC/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)ratio, and uric acid, and significantly lower HDL-C. The underweight female group ate late night snacks at a frequency of 2.1 days/week, which was significantly higher than those of all other female groups. Students' average intake levels of calories, protein, fat, and sodium, and male students' intake level of cholesterol were higher than recommended daily intake levels. Students' average intake levels of carbohydrates and dietary fiber were lower than the recommendations. Male students' intake levels of calories and nutrients were significantly higher than those of female students, while no significant differences were found within each gender's body shape groups. |
