    The three-factor eating questionnaire and BMI in adolescents : results from the Quebec Family Study
    (Cambridge, 2010-05-07) Drapeau, Vicky; Bouchard, Claude; Gallant, Annette; Pérusse, Louis; Tremblay, Angelo; Després, Jean-Pierre
    Eating behaviour traits are associated with body weight variations in adults. The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) measures cognitive restraint, disinhibition and hunger, as well as their corresponding subscales, e.g. rigid and flexible control. The TFEQ has not been widely used in adolescents to investigate eating behaviour traits associated with body weight. The aim of the present study was to assess whether eating behaviour traits were associated with BMI in male and female adolescents. Sixty adolescents (thirty females and thirty males; mean age 15·0 (sd 2·4) years) from the Québec Family Study completed the TFEQ and 3 d dietary records. There were no sex differences in the TFEQ scores. Rigid control, disinhibition and emotional susceptibility (to overeat) were positively related to BMI z-scores for the entire sample (r 0·3, P < 0·05). There was a positive relationship between BMI z-scores and rigid control (r 0·39, P < 0·05) in females, while BMI z-scores were positively related to emotional susceptibility (r 0·42, P < 0·02) and disinhibition (r 0·41, P < 0·03) in males. Adolescents characterised by both high disinhibition and high rigid control had significantly higher BMI z-scores than those by both low disinhibition and low rigid control. There were no significant differences in BMI z-scores between the flexible control categories. Dietary macronutrient content was not consistently related to eating behaviour traits. These results show that the eating behaviour traits of disinhibition and rigid control are independently related to BMI z-scores in this group of adolescents.

    Parental eating behavior traits are related to offspring BMI in the Québec Family Study
    (Newman Pub., 2013-02-12) Drapeau, Vicky; Bouchard, Claude; Gallant, Annette; Pérusse, Louis; Tremblay, Angelo; Després, Jean-Pierre
    Objective: Parental eating behavior traits have been shown to be related to the adiposity of their young children. It is unknown whether this relationship persists in older offspring or whether rigid or flexible control are involved. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that parental eating behavior traits, as measured by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), are related to offspring body weight. Methods: Cross-sectional anthropometric and TFEQ data from phase 2 and 3 of the Québec Family Study generated 192 parent–offspring dyads (offspring age range: 10–37 years). Relationships were adjusted for offspring age, sex and reported physical activity, number of offspring per family and parent body mass index (BMI). Results: In all parent–offspring dyads, parental rigid control and disinhibition scores were positively related to offspring BMI (r=0.17, P=0.02; r=0.18, P<0.01, respectively). There were no significant relationships between cognitive restraint (P=0.75) or flexible control (P=0.06) with offspring BMI. Regression models revealed that parent disinhibition mediated the relationship between parent and offspring BMI, whereas rigid control of the parent moderated this relationship. The interaction effect between parental rigid control and disinhibition was a significant predictor of offspring BMI (β=0.13, P=0.05). Conclusion: Family environmental factors, such as parental eating behavior traits, are related to BMI of older offspring, and should be a focus in the prevention of obesity transmission within families.

    Genes, fat intake and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the Quebec Family Study
    (Wiley, 2012-09-06) Bouchard, Claude; Pérusse, Louis; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Robitaille, Julie
    Objective : The aim of this study was to assess gene‐diet interaction effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (waist circumference, plasma triacylglycerol, high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol and fasting glucose concentrations, and diastolic and systolic blood pressure) in the Quebec Family Study cohort. Design : Sixty‐four polymorphisms from 45 candidate genes were studied in 645 subjects. Dietary fat intake was obtained from a 3‐day weighted food record. Results : We observed 18 significant interactions at a p value ≤ 0.01. Among them, the Pro12Ala polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ, alone or in interaction with fat intake, significantly modulated waist circumference (p = 0.0005 for both effects). Additionally, the apolipoprotein E genotype in interaction with fat intake was significantly associated with diastolic and systolic blood pressure (p = 0.01 and p = 0.001, respectively). The ghrelin Leu72Met polymorphism also interacted with dietary fat in its relation to waist circumference and triacylglycerol concentrations (p = 0.0004 and p = 0.005). Discussion : These results suggest that several alleles at candidate genes interact with dietary fat intake to modulate well‐known CVD risk factors. The identification of gene‐diet interaction effects is likely to provide useful information concerning the etiology of CVD.

    Interactions between dietary fat intake and FASN genetic variation influence LDL peak particle diameter
    (S. Karger, 2011-06-01) Bouchard, Claude; Boisclair, Marie-Ève; Pérusse, Louis; Dolley, Guillaume; Lamarche, Benoît; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Després, Jean-Pierre
    Background: The small, dense LDL phenotype is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. A genome-wide scan performed on the Quebec Family Study (QFS) revealed a quantitative trait locus for LDL peak particle diameter (LDL-PPD) on the 17q21 region. A positional candidate gene – the fatty acid synthase gene (FASN) – encodes a key enzyme in the biogenesis of membrane lipids. FASN may play a role in the regulation of feeding and may be a potential therapeutic target for obesity and insulin resistance. Methods: Analyses were performed on 592 subjects of the QFS. Dietary fat was estimated by a 3-day food record. LDL-PPD was measured by gradient gel electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gradient gels. Results: Five single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped in FASN gene. FASN rs4246444 was associated with LDL-PPD, but only when fat intake was taken into account (p = 0.001). High and low lipid consumers were defined using a cutoff of 35% of dietary fat intake. Carriers of the variant allele showed smaller LDL-PPD only when consuming a high amount of fat. This association remained significant after adjustments for age, sex, body mass index and plasma triglyceride levels. Conclusion: The results suggest that dietary fat intake may modify the effect of the FASN rs4246444 polymorphism on LDL-PPD.

    Past dieting is related to rigid control and disinhibition in adolescents from the Québec Family Study
    (Cambridge University Press, 2012-02-28) Drapeau, Vicky; Bouchard, Claude; Gallant, Annette; Pérusse, Louis; Tremblay, Angelo; Després, Jean-Pierre
    Eating behaviour traits of rigid control and disinhibition have been associated with body weight in both adults and adolescents. Moreover, adults reporting a dieting history have increased levels of unhealthy eating behaviours. Against this background, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between dieting history and eating behaviour traits in adolescents. For the purpose of this research, a total of sixty adolescents (aged 15 (sem 2·4) years) from the Québec Family Study completed the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) and a questionnaire regarding eating habits. Self-reported current and past dieting were analysed against eating behaviour traits measured by the TFEQ, including all subscales. As the results revealed, few adolescents reported currently dieting (n 3). Adolescents who reported a dieting history (23·3 %) were older (16·9 v. 14·4 years, P < 0·001), were more likely to be female (78·6 v. 41·3 %, P < 0·05) but did not have a significantly higher BMI z-score (1·5 v. 0·9, P = 0·10), although they were more likely to be either overweight or obese (P < 0·01). After correcting for sex, BMI and age, adolescents who reported a dieting history had higher levels of rigid control and disinhibition (P < 0·05–0·0001) than those reporting no dieting history. A greater proportion of adolescents characterised by high rigid control and high disinhibition were past dieters, compared to those characterised by low levels of both behaviour traits (53 v. 4 %). The study arrived at the following conclusions: as observed in adults, adolescents with a history of dieting present unfavourable eating behaviour traits. These behavioural traits may represent an additional challenge to the long-term regulation of body weight.

    Estimating genetic effect sizes under joint disease-endophenotype models in presence of gene-environment interactions
    (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-07-28) Bouchard, Claude; Croteau, Jordie; Couture, Christian; Pérusse, Louis; Bureau, Alexandre; Vohl, Marie-Claude
    Effects of genetic variants on the risk of complex diseases estimated from association studies are typically small. Nonetheless, variants may have important effects in presence of specific levels of environmental exposures, and when a trait related to the disease (endophenotype) is either normal or impaired. We propose polytomous and transition models to represent the relationship between disease, endophenotype, genotype and environmental exposure in family studies. Model coefficients were estimated using generalized estimating equations and were used to derive gene-environment interaction effects and genotype effects at specific levels of exposure. In a simulation study, estimates of the effect of a genetic variant were substantially higher when both an endophenotype and an environmental exposure modifying the variant effect were taken into account, particularly under transition models, compared to the alternative of ignoring the endophenotype. Illustration of the proposed modeling with the metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity, physical activity and polymorphisms in the NOX3 gene in the Quebec Family Study revealed that the positive association of the A allele of rs1375713 with the metabolic syndrome at high levels of physical activity was only detectable in subjects without abdominal obesity, illustrating the importance of taking into account the abdominal obesity endophenotype in this analysis.

    A genome-wide approach accounting for body mass index identifies genetic variants influencing fasting glycemic traits and insulin resistance.
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2012-05-13) Manning, Alisa K; Bouchard, Claude; Pérusse, Louis; Vohl, Marie-Claude
    Recent genome-wide association studies have described many loci implicated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathophysiology and b-cell dysfunction but have contributed little to the understanding of the genetic basis of insulin resistance. We hypothesized that genes implicated in insulin resistance pathways might be uncovered by accounting for differences in body mass index (BMI) and potential interactions between BMI and genetic variants. We applied a joint meta-analysis approach to test associations with fasting insulin and glucose on a genome-wide scale. We present six previously unknown loci associated with fasting insulin at P < 5 × 10−8 in combined discovery and follow-up analyses of 52 studies comprising up to 96,496 non-diabetic individuals. Risk variants were associated with higher triglyceride and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, suggesting a role for these loci in insulin resistance pathways. The discovery of these loci will aid further characterization of the role of insulin resistance in T2D pathophysiology.

    The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α L162V mutation is associated with reduced adiposity
    (North American Association for the Study of Obesity, 2012-09-06) Bouchard, Claude; Pérusse, Louis; Bossé, Yohan; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Després, Jean-Pierre
    Objective: To determine the contribution of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) L162V mutation to the variation of several indexes of body fatness obtained from healthy adults who participated in the Quebec Family Study. Research Methods and Procedures: The PPARα L162V mutation was determined by a mismatch polymerase chain reaction method. Adiposity phenotypes were obtained by standardized anthropometric measurements, underwater weighing technique, and computed tomography. Results: For all adiposity phenotypes, subjects carrying the V162 allele had lower values compared with L162 homozygotes (HMZs) [BMI (kg/m2): 27.8 ± 7.6 vs. 26.0 ± 5.6, p < 0.05; percentage body fat: 28.5 ± 10.7 vs. 25.7 ± 10.1, p < 0.05; waist circumference (cm): 89.0 ± 18.1 vs. 85.7 ± 15.8, p = 0.07; total computed tomography abdominal fat areas (cm2): 406 ± 221 vs. 359 ± 192, p = 0.15; means ± SD for L162 HMZs vs. V162 carriers, respectively]. Differences in cross-sectional abdominal adipose tissue areas and waist circumference were abolished after adjustment for total body fat mass. Similar trends were observed when results were analyzed by gender, although associations seemed stronger in women. The odds ratio of having a BMI above 30 kg/m2 reached 1.77 (1.02; 3.07, 95% confidence intervals) for L162 HMZs. This risk could be considered marginal on an individual basis, but because 85% of the subjects are affected by this small risk, the impact on the population is important. Discussion: The PPARα V162 allele is associated with reduced adiposity and has a substantial population-attributable risk.

    A variant in the LRRFIP1 gene is associated with adiposity and inflammation
    (NAASO the Obesity Society, 2013-03-16) Bouchard, Claude; Plourde, Mélanie.; Bellis, Claire; Marette, André; Carless, Melanie; Pérusse, Louis; Dyer, Thomas; Dolley, Guillaume; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Després, Jean-Pierre; Blangero, John
    Inflammation is an important factor linking abdominal obesity with insulin resistance and related cardiometabolic risk. A genome-wide association study of adiposity-related traits performed in the Quebec Family Study (QFS) revealed that a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the LRRFIP1 gene (rs11680012) was associated with abdominal adiposity (P = 4.6 × 10–6). Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between polymorphisms in LRRFIP1 gene and adiposity (BMI, fat mass (FM), waist circumference (WC), and computed tomography-derived areas of total, subcutaneous and visceral abdominal adipose tissue) and markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)). Design and Methods: Using Sequenom, 16 tag SNPs in the LRRFIP1 gene, capturing 78% of the genetic variation, were genotyped in 926 participants of the QFS. Results: Eight SNPs (rs7575941, rs3769053, rs11689421, rs3820808, rs11680012, rs3806505, rs6739130, and rs11686141) showed evidence of association with at least two adiposity phenotypes and plasma levels of one marker of inflammation. The strongest evidence of association was observed with rs11680012, which explained 1.8–3.4% of the variance in areas of abdominal adiposity and 2.0% of the variation in CRP levels. Carriers of the rare allele of rs11680012 had ∼30% more abdominal adiposity (P values between 2.7 × 10–4 and 3.8 × 10–6) and 75% higher CRP levels (P = 1.6 × 10–4) than the common allele in age and sex adjusted data. Rs11680012 is a G/C SNP converting an arginine into a threonine and this amino acid substitution may potentially alter exonic splicing. Conclusion: This gene may therefore represent a potential interesting target to investigate in further functional studies on adiposity and inflammation.

    Association between olfactory receptor genes, eating behavior traits and adiposity : results from the Quebec Family Study
    (Pergamon Press, 2011-10-25) Drapeau, Vicky; Choquette, Anne.; Bouchard, Claude; Pérusse, Louis; Tremblay, Angelo; Lemieux, Simone; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Bouchard, Luigi
    Obesity is a major health problem that can be influenced by eating behaviors. Evidence suggests that the sensory properties of food influence eating behaviors and lead to overeating and overweight. A previous genome-wide linkage scan for eating behavior traits assessed with the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (cognitive dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger) performed in the Quebec Family Study (QFS) revealed a quantitative trait locus for disinhibition on chromosome 19p13. This region encodes a cluster of seven olfactory receptor (OR) genes, including OR7D4, previously associated with odor perceptions. Direct sequencing of the OR7D4 gene revealed 16 sequence variants. Nine OR7D4 sequence variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) > 1% as well as 100 SNPs spanning the cluster of OR genes on 19p13 were tested for association with age- and sex-adjusted eating behaviors as well as adiposity traits in 890 subjects. One OR7D4 sequence variant (rs2878329 G > A) showed evidence of association with reduced levels of adiposity (p = 0.03), cognitive dietary restraint (p = 0.05) and susceptibility to hunger (p = 0.008). None of the OR7D4 SNPs was associated with disinhibition, but a SNP (rs2240927) in another OR gene (OR7E24) showed evidence of association (p = 0.03). Another SNP in the OR7G3 gene (rs10414255) was also found to be associated with adiposity and eating behaviors. These results are the first to suggest that variations in human olfactory receptor genes can influence eating behaviors and adiposity. The associations reported in the present study should be interpreted with caution considering the number of tests performed and considered as potential new hypotheses about the effects OR polymorphisms on eating behaviors and obesity that need to be further explored in other populations.
