Dietary patterns by reduced rank regression are associated with obesity and hypertension in Australian adults

“…These nutrients were selected on the basis of evidence from the WHO report on prevention of chronic disease, and relevant literature that suggests that DED, fibre density and sugar intakes are strongly associated with obesity risk ( 2 , 25 ) . Similarly, strong evidence from the WHO and relevant literature suggest that increased intake of Na:K, SFA:PUFA and fibre density are strongly associated with CVD risk ( 2 , 15 , 26 ) . As a result, these variables were selected as response variables in the estimation of RRR DP for use in hypertension analyses (referred to as Hypertension-DP).…”

“…These groups were based on the AUSNUT 2011–13 food group classification system ( 29 ) and were revised according to nutrient profiles (e.g. fat content) and the published literature ( 14 , 15 ) . Foods were grouped according to the following categories: non-alcoholic beverages (one group), cereals (seven groups), fats and oils (two groups), fruits (eight groups), vegetables (eight groups), meat and alternatives (seven groups), dairy products (five groups), soups and sauces (two groups), snacks and confectionery (four groups) and alcoholic beverages (three groups).…”

“…In addition, a longitudinal study of 24 958 European adults identified that a RRR DP characterised by low-fat and high-fibre intake was associated with obesity ( 14 ) . To date, only one study has investigated RRR in relation to hypertension risk specifically ( 15 ) . This study by da Silva et al .…”

“…This study by da Silva et al . ( 15 ) included a diet high in K and low in Na and SFA that was inversely associated with hypertension. However, these findings were only significant in women between 40 and 60 years of age ( 15 ) .…”

“…Eating habits are among the leading causes of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mortality 1,2 , and the dietary pattern (DP) approach has been widely used to assess this relationship, given that it may be more predictive of disease risk than evaluating the intake of individual foods or nutrients 3,4 . More specifically, studies that investigated DPs in women revealed the association of some of these patterns with obesity [5][6][7] , cardiovascular risk 8 , hypertension 9 , risk of fracture 10 , cancer 11 , and mortality 12 .…”
