Dietary patterns and non-communicable disease risk in Indian adults: secondary analysis of Indian Migration Study data.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Undernutrition and non-communicable disease (NCD) are important public health issues in India, yet their relationship with dietary patterns is poorly understood. The current study identified distinct dietary patterns and their association with micronutrient undernutrition (Ca, Fe, Zn) and NCD risk factors (underweight, obesity, waist:hip ratio, hypertension, total:HDL cholesterol, diabetes).

Design

Data were from the cross-sectional Indian Migration Study, including semi-quantitative FFQ. Distinct dietary patterns were identified using finite mixture modelling; associations with NCD risk factors were assessed using mixed-effects logistic regression models.

Setting

India.

Subjects

Migrant factory workers, their rural-dwelling siblings and urban non-mig
