| Popis: | PURPOSE: Low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) has been used for weight loss and preventing obesity, but the association of adherence to LCD and resting metabolic rate (RMR) has not been investigated. This study aimed to investigate the association between the low-carbohydrate-diet score (LCDS) and RMR among Iranian adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 Iranian adults 18–70 y of age. To assess dietary intakes, participants completed a validated food frequency questionnaire. The LCDS was calculated based on carbohydrate, protein and fat intake, expressed as a percentage of energy. The higher score indicates the lower carbohydrate and the higher protein and fat intake. RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry after an overnight fast. RESULTS: Multivariate-adjusted means showed that RMR significantly increased across tertiles (p = 0.041). However, there were no significant differences in the mean of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) across tertiles of LCDS (p = 0.986 and p = 0.621, respectively). Also LCDS and RMR (r = 0.14, p = 0.021) were found to be correlated, but LCDS and FFM (r = 0.06, p = 0.323), FM (r = −0.05, p = 0.412), had no statistically significant correlation. RMR had a significant positive association with LCDs in the crude model (β = 18.81, 95% CI: 2.55, 35.07, P = 0.024). Moreover, after controlling for covariates this association changed to non-significant (β = −0.14, 95% CI: −7.05, 19.25, P = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Adherence to diets lower in carbohydrates and higher in fat and protein were associated with higher RMR. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm these findings. |
