Background: An inverse association between healthy dietary patterns and weight gain that has been shown in white populations is not evident in the few studies in African Americans, a population at high risk of obesity.Objective: We prospectively assessed dietary patterns in relation to weight gain in African American women.Design: The study included 41,351 women aged 21-54 y at enrollment in 1995 in the Black Women's Health Study. Participants reported dietary intake in 1995 and 2001 and current weight every 2 y through mailed questionnaires. By using factor analysis, 2 major dietary patterns were identified: a "vegetables/fruit" pattern and a "meat/fried foods" pattern. Multivariable mixed linear regression models were used to estimate mean weight gain in 14 y of follow-up according to each dietary pattern.Results: Among women who maintained similar dietary patterns in 1995 and 2001, the vegetables/fruit pattern was associated with significantly less weight gain over 14 y (10.88 and 11.94 kg in the highest and lowest quintiles, respectively; P for trend = 0.003), whereas the meat/fried foods pattern was associated with significantly greater weight gain (12.02 and 10.15 kg in the highest and lowest quintiles, respectively; P for trend < 0.001). The associations were stronger among women aged
