Abstract

Objective

Individuals from families at high-risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are also in high risk for hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Studies identifying lifestyle patterns combining dietary, physical activity or sedentary variables and examining their possible role to developing blood pressure (BP) are limited. This study aimed to examine the association of different lifestyle patterns (LPs) with BP levels in families at high risk for T2DM in Europe.

Research Methods & Procedures

1844 adults (31.6% males) at high-risk for T2DM across 6 European countries were included in this cross-sectional study using data from the baseline assessment of the Feel4Diabetes Study. BP measurements, dietary and physical activity assessments were conducted, and screen times was surveyed. Lifestyle patterns were revealed with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of various data regarding diet, physical activity, screen time and smoking.

Results

3 LPs were identified, LP3 (high consumption of sweet & salty snacks, sugar sweetened soft drinks and juices and high amount of screen time) was positively associated with diastolic BP [B, 0.52 95%CI (0.05-0.99)] and existence of hypertension [OR,1.12 95%CI (1.00-1.25)]. Participants in the highest tertile of LP3 spent mean 3 hours of screen time, consumed 1.5 portions of sweet and/or salty snacks and 1 liter of soft drinks on a daily basis, were associated with 12% higher risk of hypertension.

Conclusion

Focusing on the combination of eating and lifestyle behaviors may more accurately identify, and therefore guide preventive measures tailored to the specific needs of high-risk populations.
