Elsamadony A et al, Obesity (2017), 25: 1974-1979
427 Asian and 306 non-

- WC, BMI

Asians had higher
insulin resitance for a
given excess weight

So simply fixing energy imbalance will
NOT solve the problem
• While short-term weight loss can be achieved
through calorie restriction, the biological relevance
may be limited
• Obesity and associated cardiometabolic
diseases have a multifactorial and multicomponent
aetiology (beyond energy balance)
– 1 nutrient 1 disease or condition

Focus needs to be on ‘beneficial’ dietary
pattern based on improved food quality• Reduce
– Rapidly digested, (refined) carbohydrates
– Processed meats
– Sodium and trans fat
– Added sugar
• Increase
– Fruits and non-starchy vegetables
– Legumes and nuts
– Whole grains
– Fish
• Choose foods that are less calorie dense but more nutrient
dense

Foods and dietary patterns more relevant
than single nutrients
• Importance of food based guidelines – individual relates to foods
better than nutrients
• More effective to make concerted but small changes in several
dietary factors rather than a big change in one factor
• Consideration needs to be made on food matrix, food processing
and food preparation
• “Diet quality independent of energy imbalance can influence
metabolic risk and propensity towards abdominal adiposity”

• Whether consuming polyphenol rich mixed spices and base vegetables used as curry ingredients can improve postprandial glucose control in healthy volunteers?
• Specific outcome measures included: – Total polyphenol content (TPC) and urinary polyphenol excretion
– 24 h glucose (using CGM) and postprandial insulin, TG responses
– Gut hormone (e.g., GLP-1, ghrelin) and subjective appetite responses

Summary
• Ageing is associated with metabolic dysfunction
• Healthy metabolism is more than just calorie balance
• Functional ingredients can play important roles in reducing obesity and
age associated cardiometabolic disease risk
• Adherence to dietary patterns that are more nutrient dense (e.g.,
phytochemical rich) rather than energy dense should be encouraged
• Given the biodiversity of edible plants and plant products within Asia, the
opportunity to intervene to favorably modulate CMD risk is promising!
