ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between dietary intake and control rate of blood pressure in self-reported hypertension in Shanghai, and to provide the basis for dietary guidance.
MethodsThe data from Shanghai Non-communicable and Chronic Disease (NCD) Surveillance in 2013 were used to analyze the relationship between dietary intake and control rate of blood pressure in self-reported hypertension in Shanghai by logistic regression.
ResultsTotally 6 327 residents were recruited in the study.The control rate of blood pressure was 37.62%.Low blood pressure control rate was related to inadequate dietary intake of aquatic food(insufficient intake OR=0.884, 95%CI:0.782-1.000;excessive intake OR=0.820, 95%CI:0.689-0.977)and insufficient dietary intake of meat and poultry(OR=0.881, 95%CI:0.789-0.983).
ConclusionDietary intake among self-reported hypertensive patients in Shanghai is not quite healthy.Health education on dietary guidance and rational diet should be strengthened.Adequate intake of aquatic food and meat and poultry should be recommended for effective control of blood pressure.
