Consumption of low nutritive value foods and cardiometabolic risk factors among French-speaking adults from Quebec Canada: the PREDISE study

摘要

BackgroundThere is very limited knowledge on the magnitude to which foods with low nutritive value constitute the diet of adults from the province of Quebec. The extent to which these foods impact cardiometabolic risk is also poorly documented. The objective was to assess the contribution of low nutritive value foods to total energy intake (E) and to examine associations with cardiometabolic risk factors among French-speaking adults from 5 administrative regions of the Province of Quebec.
