摘要
Background & aims: The prospective relation of dietary vitamin A intake with hypertension remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate the relationship of dietary vitamin A intake with new-onset hypertension and examine possible effect modifiers in general population. @@@ Methods: This prospective cohort study included 12,245 participants who were free of hypertension at baseline from China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Dietary intake was measured by 3 consecutive 24-h dietary recalls combined with a household food inventory. The study outcome was new-onset hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg or diagnosed by physician or under antihypertensive treatment during the follow-up. Results: During a median follow-up duration of 6.1 years, a total of 4,304 (35.1%) participants developed new-onset hypertension. Overall, there was an L-shaped relation of total dietary vitamin A intake with new-onset hypertension (P for nonlinearity <0.001). Accordingly, compared with participants with lower vitamin A intake (quartile 1, <227.3 mg RE/day), those with higher vitamin A intake (quartile 2-4, >227.3 mg RE/day) had a significantly lower risk of new-onset hypertension (adjusted HR, 0.73; 95%CI: 0.63, 0.78). Similar results were found for plant-derived vitamin A intake (adjusted HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.61, 0.70) or animal-derived vitamin A intake (adjusted HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.70, 0.82). @@@ Conclusions: There was a L-shaped relation of dietary vitamin A intake with new-onset hypertension in general Chinese adults. Our results emphasized the importance of maintaining relatively higher vitamin A intake levels for the prevention of hypertension. @@@ 0 2021 Elsevier Ltd and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism.
