Abstract | BACKGROUND: Ethnicity, cultural background, and geographic location differ significantly amongst the US Hispanic/Latino population. These characteristic differences can greatly define measured diet and its relationship with cardiometabolic disease, thus influencing generalizability of results.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine dietary patterns of Hispanic/Latino adults and their association with cardiometabolic risk factors (high cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, diabetes) across two representative studies with differing sampling strategies.METHODS: Data were collected from Mexican or Other Hispanic adult participants from 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, n=3,209) and 2007-2011 Hispanic Community Health Survey/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL, n=13,059). Nutrient-based food patterns (NBFPs) were derived using factor analysis on nutrient intake data estimated from 24-hour dietary recalls and interpreted using common foods prominent in these nutrients. Cross-sectional association between NBFPs (quintiles) and cardiometabolic risk factors, defined by clinical measures and self-report, were estimated using survey-weighted logistic regression.RESULTS: Five NBFPs were identified in both studies: (1) meats, (2) grains/legumes, (3) fruits/vegetables, (4) dairy, and (5) fats/oils. Association to cardiometabolic risk factors differed by NBFP and study. In HCHS/SOL, persons in the highest quintile of meats NBFP had higher odds of diabetes (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.10, 1.86) and obesity (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.14, 1.63). Those in the lowest quintile of grains/legumes NBFP (OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.47) and the highest quintile of fats/oils (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.53) also had higher odds of obesity. In NHANES, NBFPs associated with higher odds of diabetes included those in the lowest quintile of dairy (OR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.01, 2.72) and highest quintile of grains/legumes (OR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.26, 3.50). Persons in the fourth quintile of meats (OR=0.68, 95%CI: 0.47, 0.99) had lower odds of cholesterol.CONCLUSION: Diet-disease relationships among Hispanic/Latino adults vary according to two representative studies. These differences have research and practical implications when generalizing inferences on heterogeneous underrepresented populations. |
