Abstract:
Objective To investigate the potential effects of vegetables and fruits (F&V) consumption on the prevention of hypertension in Chinese population of North China.Methods A cohort of 10 635 cases were established in Kailuan community in Tangshan city and Jingmei community in Beijing city in July 2012.After a mean follow-up time of 47.2 month,the potential effects of different amounts of vegetables,fruits and F&V consumption on the new incidence of hypertension were studied and compared with univariant by multivariant Cox regression method.Results A total of 10 104 completed the follow-up survey and 576 cases of new hypertension were recorded.The incidence of hypertension in participants with ≤2,>2.0-<4.1-<5.0,≥5.0 serving F&V per day was 6.2%,6.0%,5.1% and 4.6%,respectively.With comparison to those participants consuming the lowest amount of vegetables,fruits and F&V,the hazard ratio for reducing the risk of hypertension and the 95% confidence intervals were 0.62 (0.46-0.83),0.87(0.78-0.97) and 0.69(0.54-0.80) for separate vegetables and fruits and total F&V(P<0.05).Conclusion Increasing the consumption of vegetables and fruits can significantly bring down the incidence of hypertension in North China populations.
