![]() ![]() Epidemiological studies have shown that combinations of obesity and metabolic abnormalities lead to increased risk of chronic diseses, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and all-cause mortality 2, 3. Obesity represents a rapidly growing public health problem worldwide over the last few decades 1. Our findings indicate that adherence to DASH diet may be favourable in prevention of metabolic abnormalities in overweight and obese individuals. In the multivariable adjusted model, after controlling for age, sex, BMI, physical activity, smoking status, socioeconomic status, and energy intake, participants in the highest tertile of DASH diet had lower odds of MUHO (OR:0.79 95%CI:0.64–0.98), in comparison to those in the lowest one (P for trend = 0.040). Mean ± SD age of participants (43.5% male) was 39.2 ± 9.5 years and median (25–75 interquartile range) DASH diet score was 24 (21–27) percentages of MHO and MUHO subjects were 33.4 and 66.6%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratio (OR) for obesity phenotypes according to the tertiles of the DASH diet. ![]() Obesity phenotypes including metabolic unhealthy obesity (MUHO) and metabolic healthy obesity (MHO) were defined using criteria of the Joint International statement(JIS) for metabolic syndrome. Using a valid and reliable food-frequency questionnaire, DASH diet scores between 8 and 40 points were determined. ![]() The current study aimed at investigating the association between Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and odds of obesity phenotypes, is a cross sectional study conducted on 3218 Iranian overweight or obese participants (BMI >25 kg/m 2), aged ≥20 years, who participated in the fourth phase (2009–2011) of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. ![]()
