Dietary patterns associated with hypertension risk among adults in Thailand: 8-year findings from the Thai Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Dietary intake is a leading risk factor for hypertension. We aimed to assess longitudinal associations between overall dietary patterns and incident hypertension among adults in Thailand.

Design

Prospective large Thai Cohort Study (TCS) conducted nationwide from 2005 to 2013. Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis based on usual intake of fourteen food groups. Multivariable logistic regression assessed associations between dietary patterns and hypertension prevalence and incidence.

Setting

Emerging hypertension and changing diets in Thailand.

Subjects

TCS participants who were normotensive at baseline in 2005.

Results

Among 36293 participants without hypertension at baseline, 1831 reported incident hypertension (5·1 % incidence)
