A cross sectional survey conducted in the school setting in the Niagara region (Ontario, Canada) studied the association to adherence to the Canada’s food guide as measured by CFG index and anthropometric measures in 1570 children (782 girls and 788 boys), with a mean age of 12.4 years (Hajna et al. 2012). The researchers found significant inverse association of CFG index with waist-to-height ratio (β −0•001, 95 % CI −0•002 - −0•0004), waist-to-hip ratio (β −0•001, 95 % CI −0•002 - −0•001) and waist girth (β −0•18, 95 % CI −0•30 - −0•07) in girls (Hajna et al. 2012). No significant association was observed in boys. …show more content…
