Abstract
Background: The evidence regarding dietary antioxidant intake and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among patients with hypertension is scarce.
Methods and results: This study included 16,190 adults with hypertension from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. Death outcomes were ascertained by linkage to National Death Index records through December 31, 2019. Overall dietary intake was estimated with composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI). Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the risk for all-cause and CVD mortality. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to illustrate the survival probabilities among CDAI quartiles. Weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression was conducted to evaluate the joint and independent associations of antioxidants with all-cause and CVD mortality. The median (interquartile range) age of participants was 59.00 (47.00, 69.00) years. During a median of 94 months of follow-up, 3,858 deaths were documented. Compared to participants with the lowest quartile of CDAI, the multivariable adjusted HR and 95% CI for participants with the highest quartile was 0.76 (0.64, 0.91) for all-cause mortality. The highest quartile (Q4) of vitamin E (HR = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.59-0.80), selenium (HR = 0.84; 95% CI, 0.70-1.00) and total carotenoids (HR = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75-0.98) intakes were negatively associated with all-cause mortality. Vitamin E and selenium intakes might be the major contributors to this negative relationship. The highest quartile (Q4) of vitamin E (HR = 0.72; 95% CI, 0.56-0.93) intake was negatively associated with CVD mortality.
Conclusion: Higher overall dietary antioxidant intake was significantly associated with decreased all-cause and CVD mortality among patients with hypertension. Further randomized controlled trials are required to confirm our findings.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition Journal publishes surveillance, epidemiologic, and intervention research that sheds light on i) influences (e.g., familial, environmental) on eating patterns; ii) associations between eating patterns and health, and iii) strategies to improve eating patterns among populations. The journal also welcomes manuscripts reporting on the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) and feasibility of methods (e.g., for assessing dietary intake) for human nutrition research. In addition, study protocols for controlled trials and cohort studies, with an emphasis on methods for assessing dietary exposures and outcomes as well as intervention components, will be considered.
Manuscripts that consider eating patterns holistically, as opposed to solely reductionist approaches that focus on specific dietary components in isolation, are encouraged. Also encouraged are papers that take a holistic or systems perspective in attempting to understand possible compensatory and differential effects of nutrition interventions. The journal does not consider animal studies.
In addition to the influence of eating patterns for human health, we also invite research providing insights into the environmental sustainability of dietary practices. Again, a holistic perspective is encouraged, for example, through the consideration of how eating patterns might maximize both human and planetary health.
