Introduction
Design:
- prospective study of 3000 young adults age 18-30
- 1/2 white, 1/2 black
- subjects from 4 US cities
body weight, insulin resistance & frequency of fast-food restaurant visits were assessed 6 times during 15 years
At baseline, frequency of fast food restaurant visits not associated with body weight or insulin resistance.
Results:
- frequency of fast food restaurant visits greater among blacks that whites & greater among men than women
- frequency of fast food restaurant visits associated with weight gain by year 15
- an increase in fast food restaurant visits during the 15 year study associated with insulin resistance in both blacks & whites
- subjects with > 2 fast food restaurant visits/week at baseline at follow-up had greater weight gain & insulin resistance than those with < 1 fast food restaurant visit/week
- active & passive smoking increase risk of glucose intolerance & diabetes mellitus type-2[2]
