Influence of educational level and marital status on dietary intake, obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors in a Hong Kong Chinese population

Article Abstract:

Higher educational level seems to be connected with a lower risk of being overweight, but this is only seen in women, according to research into the influence of marital status and education on consumption pattern of food groups, nutrient intake, body mass index, blood pressure, waist hip ratio and other laboratory parameters among Hong Kong Chinese subjects. Higher levels of education appear to be linked with a healthier dietary pattern in relation to chronic diseases. It is clear that there is a need to consider the impact of individual socioeconomic factors on dietary intake and cardiovascular risk factors.
