Association of fine particulate matter and its constituents with hypertension: the modifying effect of dietary patterns.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have shown that nutritional supplements could reduce the adverse effects induced by air pollution. However, whether dietary patterns can modify the association of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) and its constituents with hypertension defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline has not been evaluated.

Methods

We included 47,501 Chinese adults from a nationwide cross-sectional study. PM_2.5 and five constituents were estimated by satellite-based random forest models. Dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) and alternative Mediterranean diet (AMED) scores were calculated for each participant. Interactions between dietary patterns and air pollution were examined by adding a multiplicative interaction term to logistic
