Excessive visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a significant risk factor for various diseases. Diet plays a crucial role in controlling obesity. This study examined the association between the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and VAT in 9027 adults using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Linear regression models were used to explore this association, with subgroup analyses included. Results showed a significant inverse association between DASH scores and VAT area, even after adjusting for covariates (β = -2.18, 95% CI: -3.10, -1.27). Participants in the highest DASH score tertile had significantly lower VAT areas compared to those in the lowest tertile (β = -7.2, 95% CI: -10.40, -4.01). This inverse association was most pronounced in middle-aged participants. Further prospective cohort studies are necessary to confirm these findings.
过多的内脏脂肪组织 (VAT) 是各种疾病的重要危险因素。饮食在控制肥胖中起着至关重要的作用。本研究使用来自国家健康和营养检查调查的数据，在 9027 名成年人中检查了停止高血压的饮食方法 (DASH) 饮食与 VAT 之间的关联。使用线性回归模型探讨了这种关联，并包括了亚组分析。结果表明，DASH 评分与 VAT 面积之间存在显著的负相关，即使在调整了协变量后也是如此 (β = -2.18, 95% CI: -3.10, -1.27)。与最低三分位组相比，DASH 评分最高三分位组的 VAT 面积显著降低 (β = -7.2, 95% CI: -10.40, -4.01)。这种负相关在中年参与者中最为明显。需要进一步的前瞻性队列研究来证实这些发现。
