Abstract

Background: Little is known about the dietary habits of people with optimal body weight in communities with high overweight and obesity prevalence. Objective: To evaluate carbohydrate intake in relation to overweight and obesity in healthy, free-living adults. Design: Cross-sectional analysis. Subjects/ Setting: The Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.2 is a cross-sectional survey of Canadians conducted in 2004-2005. There were 4,451 participants aged 18 years and older with anthropometric and dietary data and no comorbid conditions in this analysis. Main Outcome Measures: Outcome variables were body mass index (BMI; kg/m²) and overweight or obesity status (dichotomous) defined as BMI >25 compared with BMI
