Trajectories of plant-based diet indices and the associated risk of hypertension among Chinese adults: a cohort study based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey 2004-2015.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant-based diets have been found to be associated with hypertension. Dietary intake is a dynamic and changing process that can be better characterized by trajectories of dietary indices. However, the associations between plant-based diet trajectories and hypertension over time remained unknown.

Methods

We used data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey 2004-2015 to analyze a cohort of Chinese adults ≥ 18 years of age who had no hypertension at baseline. Plant-based diets were measured by an overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI) based on three 24-hour recalls. Trajectories of PDI, hPDI, and uPDI (2004 to 2011) were identified using group-based trajectory modeling. The assoc
