Why is it important?
Adherence to the traditional pattern among Thai adults was associated with high triglyceride levels and seemed to be less beneficial for the mixed pattern, which was inversely related to abdominal obesity. Our findings show that the consumption of a variety of foods may be beneficial for health outcomes.
Perspectives
Public health in most low- and middle-income countries is challenged, in addition to infectious diseases, by chronic or non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This situation coincides with economic development, demographic transition, and epidemiological changes in a population, which leads to a shift in dietary behaviours, also known as nutrition transition. The finding of this study is an example of the nutrition transition which effects to health outcomes.
