摘要

Diet modification is considered important for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, research on overall diet and chronic disease risk remains scarce. To examine the impact of overall diet on health, an examination of the dietary pattern approach has only recently been undertaken in nutritional epidemiology. Although the popularity of dietary pattern studies is growing, the associated methods remain somewhat immature with unaddressed limitations. Here, three applications of dietary pattern analyses were proposed to introduce a novel technique and to address underlying limitations.;My first study focused on the criterion-based dietary pattern approach. This approach calculates a dietary index score of an individual's diet based on dietary components related to diet quality and dietary recommendations. The approach involves an untested assumption that all index components have equal health contributions. To examine this assumption, we used data from 224 postmenopausal women with established heart disease in the Estrogen and Atherosclerosis Progression Trial conducted between 1996 and 2000. The degree of adherence to key Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA, 2005) recommendations was scaled as a measure of overall diet by the DGA Adherence Index (DGAI) with each component equally weighted and a modified version of the DGAI (wDGAI) with each component weighted differentially by its established relationship with atherosclerosis progression. By mixed model regression analyses, the wDGAI, but not DGAI, was inversely associated with atherosclerosis progression (P=0.004); the higher the score by one standard deviation, the less narrowing the coronary arteries by 0.049 mm (standard error=0.017). Although the identical criterion-based dietary pattern was used with the DGAI and the wDGAI, only when differential weights were considered was adherence to these dietary recommendations associated with disease progression. This demonstrates the importance of considering differential weights based on health outcomes for criterion-based dietary indexes.;A common limitation in dietary pattern studies is a lack of information on generalizability of a dietary pattern derived from a single study population. My second study used data from the Framingham Offspring Study (FOS, N=2,879) to examine the generalizability of three dietary patterns identified in the US and European studies for prediction of T2DM risk. Based on predictability of T2DM risk in the FOS, the dietary patterns determined in the US population and in the FOS were similar; HRs (95%CI) were 4.14 (2.45-6.99) and 3.22 (1.93-5.38), respectively, comparing top to bottom quartile groups of each dietary pattern score. However, the predictability of T2DM risk based on dietary patterns identified in the European studies was weaker. The study suggests possible limitations of generalizability in published dietary patterns.;The third study used data from the FOS to examine the use of dietary patterns for confounding adjustment. In general, dietary pattern approach is considered advantageous for aggregating small effects of individual foods on health outcomes. This raised the hypothesis that dietary pattern analyses may aggregate small confounding effects of many individual, but related, dietary factors. The inverse association between alcohol and T2DM was tested for confounding by dietary pattern variables derived from factor analysis. Cox-proportional hazard models showed that hazard ratio (HR) comparing the top quartile group of drinkers to abstainers significantly shifted away from the null by 40.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 16.8 to 57.0%, P=0.002) after adjustment for dietary patterns. Therefore, the association between alcohol consumption and T2DM risk was confounded by dietary patterns. This study suggests that dietary pattern analyses are useful to adjust for dietary confounding.;In conclusion, our studies advanced the methods of dietary pattern analyses. The advances will help strengthen the applications of dietary pattern analyses and improve the knowledge and interpretation of analytical techniques used in nutritional epidemiology research on overall diet and its associations with health outcomes.
