Dietary live microorganisms and depression-driven mortality in hypertensive patients: NHANES 2005-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the relationship between dietary microorganism intake and mortality risk among hypertensive adults with depression in the United States.

Methods

This study utilizes data from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, focusing on individuals with hypertension. The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curve is employed to preliminarily explore the relationship between dietary microorganism intake, depression, and mortality risk in hypertensive individuals.

Mediation analysis assesses the mediating effect of depression on the association between dietary microorganisms and mortality, while subgroup and sensitivity analysis evaluates the stabil
