Abstract
Background and objectives: Few studies have explored the relationship between overall diet quality and stress load. Therefore, we have evaluated the association between dietary quality and allostatic load (AL) in adults.
Methods and study design: The data were derived from the 2015-2018 National Health and Nutri-tion Examination Survey (NHANES). Dietary intake information was obtained by 24-hour dietary recall. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2015 version was estimated as an indicator of dietary quality. The AL was in-dicative of the accumulated chronic stress load. The weighted logistic regression model was used to explore the relationship between dietary quality and the risk of high AL in adults.
Results: A total of 7557 eligible adults older than 18 years were enrolled in this study. After being fully adjusted, we found a significant asso-ciation between HEI score and the risk of high AL (ORQ2 =0.73, 95% CI: 0.62,0.86; ORQ3 =0.66, 95% CI: 0.55,0.79; ORQ4 =0.56, 95% CI: 0.47,0.67) in logistic regression model. Increased intake of total fruits and whole fruits or decreased intake of sodium, refined grains, saturated fats and added sugars were associated with the risk of high AL (ORtotal fruits =0.93, 95%CI: 0.89,0.96; ORwhole fruits =0.95, 95%CI: 0.91,0.98; ORwhole grains =0.97, 95%CI: 0.94,0.997; ORfatty acid =0.97, 95%CI: 0.95,0.99; ORsodium =0.95, 95%CI: 0.92,0.98; ORre-fined grains =0.97, 95%CI: 0.94,0.99; ORsaturated fats =0.96, 95%CI: 0.93,0.98; ORadded sugars =0.98, 95%CI: 0.96,0.99).
Conclusions: We found that dietary quality was inversely associated with allostatic load. High di-etary quality presumptively less cumulative stress.
期刊介绍:
The aims of the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(APJCN) are to publish high quality clinical nutrition relevant research findings which can build the capacity of
clinical nutritionists in the region and enhance the practice of human nutrition and related disciplines for health
promotion and disease prevention. APJCN will publish
original research reports, reviews, short communications
and case reports. News, book reviews and other items will
also be included. The acceptance criteria for all papers are
the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated,
manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous
reviewers and the Editor. The Editorial Board reserves the
right to refuse any material for publication and advises
that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts
and correspondence as material cannot be returned. Final
acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board
