Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are the well-established cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)-associated factors. Evidences from epidemiological studies showed that adequate fruit and vegetable (FV) intake were protective against the risk of these CVDs-associated factors, but were reported mainly in the prevalent cases of the Caucasian and other Asian descendants. Thus, we investigated the relationship between FV intake and the risk of undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia among the Malaysian adults.
Methods: This study analysed the data from 11,172 Malaysian adults (i.e. 5,554 men and 5,618 women) aged above 18 years old who participated in the NHMS 2015, a national population-based survey. Multiple logistic regression was employed to determine the relationship between adequate FV intake and risk of undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia, after adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle risk factors. The undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia were identified based on the self-reported medical history and the measurement of blood fasting sugar and cholesterol, and blood pressure measurement during recruitment. Results: The prevalence of adequate FV intake among the undiagnosed diabetes, undiagnosed hypertension and undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia were 2.6%, 2.9% and 2.5%, respectively. Our data demonstrated that adequate FV intake based on the World Health Organization recommendation ( ? 5 servings per day) was inversely associated with undiagnosed hypercholesterolemia (adjusted OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.98
