AbstractThe Nutrition Transition model posits that vegetable oils, animal source foods (ASFs) and caloric sweeteners contribute to increases in adiposity and hence body mass index. Body mass index (BMI) is increasing more rapidly among Latin American populations of low versus high socioeconomic status (SES). The objectives of this study among Costa Rican women were to: (1) compare indicators of adiposity and dietary intake by SES and (2) evaluate the relationship between intake of foods high in vegetable oils, ASFs or caloric sweeteners and body fatness. This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2014–2015, included 128 low-, middle- and high-SES non-pregnant, non-lactating women aged between 25 and 45 years with 1–4 live births. Anthropometry was used to assess BMI, body composition and body fat distribution. Dietary recalls (n = 379) were used to assess dietary intake. Percentage body fat was greater in low- versus high-SES women (31.5 ± 3.9 vs 28.2 ± 4.7%). Skinfold measurements at four sites on the upper and lower body were greater in low- versus high-SES women. Body mass index did not vary in low- versus high-SES women. Intake frequency of foods high in vegetable oils was greater in low- and middle- (1.8 and 1.8 times/day, respectively) versus high- (1.1 times/day) SES women. For individual foods, intake frequency varied significantly by SES for high-fat condiments, fried vegetables, dairy, sweetened coffee/tea and pastries and desserts. Intake frequency of Nutrition Transition food categories was not associated with percentage body fat after adjustment for energy intake. Indicators of body composition provide additional information beyond BMI that are useful in understanding SES–adiposity associations in Latin America. Approaches to understanding diet and adiposity in Latin America that focus on vegetable oils, ASFs and caloric sweeteners should consider within-country variation in the pace of the Nutrition Transition, especially when explaining variation in adiposity by SES.

Abstract Objectives Stress can negatively impact lifestyle practices and metabolic health, thereby increasing an individual's risk for chronic disease. We investigated whether variability in salivary cortisol levels is associated with body composition, blood pressure, and diet quality. Methods In this ongoing study, adult men and women (18–70y, n = 17) participated in a fasted baseline health assessment to measure body composition and resting blood pressure. Dietary intake was assessed over a 5-day period, where saliva samples were collected in the morning, afternoon, and evening to measure cortisol levels. Degree of cortisol variability over the 5-day period was calculated as: the highest recorded cortisol measurement - the lowest recorded cortisol measurement, which was used to classify subjects into groups of high (n = 9) and low (n = 8) cortisol variability. Results Subjects with greater variability in salivary cortisol had higher cortisol levels on average, in addition to greater concentrations and variability in cortisol levels in the morning. High variability in cortisol levels was additionally associated with a higher body mass index and metabolic age, but was not associated with fat or fat-free mass, waist circumference, or blood pressure. Subjects with lower variability in salivary cortisol levels reported having a greater dietary intake of linoleic acid and manganese, as well as a trend toward greater intake of vitamin D. Greater variability in salivary cortisol levels positively correlated with the % of dietary calories coming from fat, total fructose, serine, fried potatoes, dairy-based desserts, sweetened coffee, and beer. Conclusions Our preliminary findings demonstrate that high variability in salivary cortisol is associated with elevated morning stress hormone levels, body mass index, and a less favorable dietary pattern.
