Comparison of two exploratory dietary patterns in association with the metabolic syndrome in a Northern German population

Abstract: Diet is related to many chronic disease conditions such as the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We set out to compare behaviour-related with disease-related patterns and their association with the MetS in a German cross-sectional study. A total of 905 participants of a Northern German cohort (aged 25-82 years) completed a FFQ, underwent anthropometric assessments and provided a blood sample. Dietary patterns were derived by principal component analysis (PCA) and reduced-rank regression (RRR) from forty-two food grou… Show more

“…Technically, if response variables can be explained by dietary habits of the studied population, then PCA and RRR-patterns are likely to be similar. Our findings are in line with other studies which have used CVRF as response variables and also found similar PCA- and RRR-patterns [8,9]. Likewise, comparable patterns were found when biomarkers [22,23] were chosen as response variables.…”

“…In our study, since we were interested to find dietary patterns correlated with CVRF, we chose intentionally our outcomes of interest, CVRF, as response variables. Similar to other studies that have used their outcomes measures as response variables [8,9,26], RRR-patterns were more strongly associated with outcomes than PCA patterns. Nevertheless, studies which use response variables assumed to be on the pathway between diet and the outcomes also showed stronger associations for RRR-patterns [7,27].…”
