近年来，肥胖发病率迅速上升，已成为全球最紧迫的公共卫生问题之一。肥胖的根本病因，无论是行为、环境、遗传还是其中几种因素的组合，尚未完全阐明。肥胖症的流行归因于高能量食物的容易获得、丰富和过度消费。我们利用来自美国农业部 (USDA) 经济研究服务 (ERS) 的损失调整后食品供应数据以及来自行为风险因素监测系统 (BRFSS) 和疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 国家健康和营养检查调查 (NHANES) 的肥胖患病率数据，通过皮尔逊相关性确定了食物类型消费与肥胖上升之间的关系。我们的分析表明，总热量摄入量和高果糖玉米糖浆 (HFCS) 的消耗量与肥胖趋势的上升无关。其他主要食物类型的摄入量，包括鸡肉、乳制品脂肪、沙拉和食用油以及奶酪，也与肥胖趋势无关。然而，我们的结果令人惊讶地显示，玉米产品的消费与肥胖率上升相关，并且与美国人口动态中的性别和种族/民族无关。因此，我们能够证明玉米产品的消费与肥胖趋势上升之间存在新的联系，而这种联系以前并未归因于肥胖流行。这种相关性与生物工程玉米引入人类食物链的时间相吻合，从而提出了一个新的假设，应该在肥胖的分子和动物模型中进行测试。
The rapid rise in the incidence of obesity has emerged as one of the most pressing global public health issues in recent years. The underlying etiological causes of obesity, whether behavioral, environmental, genetic, or a combination of several of them, have not been completely elucidated. The obesity epidemic has been attributed to the ready availability, abundance, and overconsumption of high-energy content food. We determined here by Pearson's correlation the relationship between food type consumption and rising obesity using the loss-adjusted food availability data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Services (ERS) as well as the obesity prevalence data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our analysis showed that total calorie intake and consumption of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) did not correlate with rising obesity trends. Intake of other major food types, including chicken, dairy fats, salad and cooking oils, and cheese also did not correlate with obesity trends. However, our results surprisingly revealed that consumption of corn products correlated with rising obesity and was independent of gender and race/ethnicity among population dynamics in the U.S. Therefore, we were able to demonstrate a novel link between the consumption of corn products and rising obesity trends that has not been previously attributed to the obesity epidemic. This correlation coincides with the introduction of bioengineered corns into the human food chain, thus raising a new hypothesis that should be tested in molecular and animal models of obesity.
