Associations of dietary indices with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary patterns play a pivotal role in managing hypertension and preventing mortality. However, comparative studies on the effects of different dietary patterns on mortality risk in hypertensive patients remain limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the associations between six established dietary indices and mortality risk in this population.

Methods

Utilizing data from the 2005-2018 NHANES, 13,230 hypertensive adults were included in the analysis. Six standardized dietary indices were employed, and the associations between these dietary patterns and mortality were analyzed using a weighted Cox proportional hazards model. Additionally, time trend analysis was conducted to examine changes in dietary patterns, while weighted quantile regression
