Examining Generalizability of Nutrient-Based Food Patterns and Their Cross-Sectional Associations with Cardiometabolic Health for Hispanic/Latino Adults in the US: Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ethnicity, cultural background, and geographic location differ significantly amongst the US Hispanic/Latino population. These characteristic differences can greatly define measured diet and its relationship with cardiometabolic disease, thus influencing generalizability of results.

Objective

We aimed to examine dietary patterns of Hispanic/Latino adults and their association with cardiometabolic risk factors (high cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, diabetes) across two representative studies with differing sampling strategies.

Methods

Data were collected from Mexican or Other Hispanic adult participants from 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, n=3,209) and 2007-2011 Hispanic Community Health Survey/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL
