We assessed the mediating effects of metabolic components on the relationship between fruit or vegetable intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Cross-sectional study.
This study was conducted using data from the 2013-2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is a national representative cross-sectional survey to assess health and nutritional status in the Korean population.
A total of 9040 subjects (3555 males and 5485 females) aged ≥25 years were included in the study. Physician-diagnosed CVD via self-report was used as the outcome. Fruit or vegetable intake was measured via a dish-based semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire and grouped into categories (<1 time/day, 1 time/day, 2 times/day and ≥3 times/day). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), cholesterol and fasting glucose were considered metabolic mediators, and the bootstrap method was used to assess mediating effect.
About 1.8% of adults aged 25-64 years had CVD. According to the result of 'process' macro, the confounder-adjusted risk for CVD decreased by 14% (OR=0.86, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.98) as fruit, but not vegetable, intake was increased by one unit per day. After additional adjustment for three metabolic factors simultaneously, the OR was attenuated to 0.89 (95% CI 0.77 to 1.03). This result indicates that the indirect effect of three metabolic factors accounted for 21.4% of the relationship between fruit intake and CVD. SBP was a more important metabolic mediator than the other factors. The indirect effect by metabolic factors accounted for 30.0% when body mass index was additionally controlled as a mediator, and SBP still had an independent effect compared with the other mediators.
Our results indicate that controlling SBP may lessen the CVD risk, and a diet rich in fruits can regulate SBP which, in turn, reduces CVD risk.
我们评估了代谢成分在水果或蔬菜摄入量与心血管疾病(CVD)之间关系中的中介作用。
横断面研究。
本研究使用了2013 - 2015年韩国国民健康与营养检查调查的数据,这是一项全国代表性的横断面调查,旨在评估韩国人群的健康和营养状况。
共有9040名年龄≥25岁的受试者(3555名男性和5485名女性)纳入研究。通过自我报告由医生诊断的CVD作为结局。水果或蔬菜摄入量通过基于菜肴的半定量食物频率问卷进行测量,并分为几类(<1次/天、1次/天、2次/天和≥3次/天)。收缩压(SBP)、胆固醇和空腹血糖被视为代谢中介因素,采用Bootstrap方法评估中介作用。
25 - 64岁的成年人中约1.8%患有CVD。根据“过程”宏的结果,随着水果摄入量而非蔬菜摄入量每天增加一个单位,经混杂因素调整后的CVD风险降低了14%(OR = 0.86,95%CI 0.74至0.98)。在同时对三个代谢因素进行额外调整后,OR值减弱至0.89(95%CI 0.77至1.03)。该结果表明,三个代谢因素的间接作用占水果摄入量与CVD之间关系的21.4%。SBP是比其他因素更重要的代谢中介因素。当将体重指数作为中介因素进行额外控制时,代谢因素的间接作用占30.0%,并且与其他中介因素相比,SBP仍具有独立作用。
我们的结果表明,控制SBP可能会降低CVD风险,富含水果的饮食可以调节SBP,进而降低CVD风险。
