Abstrakt: Background/objective: The roles of overall diet quality in linking genetic background with anthropometric measures are unclear, particularly regarding the recently developed Planetary Health Diet (PHD). This study aims to determine if the PHD mediates or moderates the relationship between genetic susceptibility to obesity and anthropometric measures.
Subjects/methods: The study involved 2942 individuals from a Finnish population-based cohort (54% women, mean age 53 (SD ± 13) years). Habitual diet was assessed using a validated 130-item food frequency questionnaire, and the PHD Score (total score range 0-13 points) was adapted for Finnish food culture to evaluate diet quality. Genetic susceptibility to obesity was evaluated with a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on one million single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with body mass index (BMI). Baseline anthropometrics included weight, height, waist circumference (WC), and body fat percentage, with changes in these measures tracked over 7 years. A five-step multiple linear regression model and multivariable logistic regression with interaction terms were used to assess the mediating and moderating effects of the PHD. These analyses were also replicated in another Finnish cohort study (2 834 participants).
Results: PRS for BMI was positively associated with baseline BMI and changes in anthropometric measures, except waist circumference (p = 0.12). Significant associations were observed for baseline BMI and WC (p < 0.001), changes in BMI and WC (p = 0.01), and body fat percentage change (p = 0.05). However, the PHD (average score 3.8 points) did not mediate or moderate these relationships. These findings were consistent in the replication cohort.
Conclusion: Diet quality assessed with the PHD did not mediate or moderate the associations between genetic susceptibility to obesity and anthropometric measures. This lack of effect may be partly due to low adherence to the PHD and the older age of participants ( > 50 years) at baseline.
