Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how dietary habits, meal frequency, and body measurements relate to menopausal women in Brazil.
- Researchers found three key eating patterns and noted that a regional diet was linked to higher BMI and waist circumference, while eating five or more meals daily led to lower BMI and waist measurements.
- The findings suggest that a regional dietary pattern increases weight and waist size, and it is associated with fewer meals throughout the day, while a fruit and vegetable pattern promoted more frequent meals.
