Background: New Zealand is culturally diverse and has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, especially among women. Which necessitates further exploration to investigate the relationship between the dietary intake of New Zealand women from different ethnicities, with different body compositions and metabolic disease risk.
Methods: Pacific (PI) and NZ European (NZE) women aged 18–45 years from Auckland participated in this cross-sectional study. They were included if they had either a normal body mass index (BMI) (NB: >18.5 and ≤24.9 kg/m2), or an obese BMI (OB: ≥30 kg/m2). Participants completed a 5-day non-consecutive estimated food record, anthropometric measurements (e.g., weight, height and % body fat (DXA)), and provided fasting blood samples (e.g., HbA1c and lipid profile).
Results: In total 261 participants, 112 PI (OB n = 75, NB n = 37) and 149 NZE (OB n = 71, NB n = 78) completed the study. There were significant differences in mean BMI kg/m2 between PI-OB and NZE-OB (p = 0.024), and PI-NB and NZE-NB (p = 0.001). No significant differences between the four groups were observed in mean ± SEM daily intake of energy (kJ), protein (g), total fat (g), or total sugar (g). However, PI-NB and PI-OB consumed significantly more carbohydrate (214.85 g/day and 212.93 g/day respectively) compared to NZE-OB (183.94 g; p = 0.015), and NZE-NB (177.39 g, p < 0.001). NZE women had a higher mean daily intake of caffeine (mg) and alcohol (g) compared to PI (both p < 0.001). NZE-NB consumed significantly more dietary fibre (25.90 g/day; p < 0.001) compared to NZE-OB (22.10 g/day), PI-OB (18.29 g/day) and PI-NB (19.38 g/day), and NZE-OB consumed significantly more dietary fibre in comparison to PI OBMI and PI NBMI (p = 0.001).
Conclusions: PI and NZE women showed significant differences in carbohydrate and dietary fibre intake. Further analysis will explore which foods contributed to the variations in nutrient intakes between groups, and associations with body composition and metabolic disease risk will be investigated.
