Longitudinal study of dietary patterns and hypertension in adults: China Health and Nutrition Survey 1991–2018

J. Zhang, W. Du, et al.

This longitudinal study conducted by Jiguo Zhang and colleagues reveals the significant impact dietary patterns have on blood pressure and hypertension risk among Chinese adults. With a robust sample size of nearly 16,000 participants, the research highlights how modern and meat-centric diets can affect systolic and diastolic blood pressure differently over an impressive 28-year span.

Abstract

This longitudinal study investigated the association between dietary patterns and hypertension in Chinese adults (n=15,929) over 28 years using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1991-2018). Factor analysis identified three dietary patterns: modern (high fruits, dairy), meat (high poultry, organ meats), and southern (high rice, vegetables, pork). The modern pattern was inversely associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP), while the meat pattern was positively associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and hypertension risk. These findings suggest that dietary patterns significantly impact blood pressure and hypertension risk in Chinese adults.
