Dietary Fiber Intake and Weight Status in Young Austrian Adults
Low fiber intake is widespread among young adults and associated with higher BMI. The findings suggest that not only the quantity but also the quality of fiber sources play a role in weight status. Interventions aimed at improving dietary fiber intake through targeted education and healthier food environments would be a good strategy to support better health outcomes in young adults.
