Examining Generalizability across Different Surveys: Comparing Nutrient-Based Food Patterns and Their Cross-Sectional Associations with Cardiometabolic Health in the United States Hispanic/Latino Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ethnicity, cultural background, and geographic location differ significantly within the United States Hispanic/Latino population. These variations can greatly define diet and its relationship with cardiometabolic disease, thus influencing generalizability of results.

Objectives

We aimed to examine nutrient-based food patterns (NBFPs) of Hispanic/Latino adults and their association with cardiometabolic risk factors (dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes) across 2 United States population-based 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 = 3605) and 2007-2011 Hispanic Community Health Survey/S
