Low Concordance with the DASH Plan Is Associated with Higher Cardiovascular Risk in Treated Hypertensive Patients

Table 3

Prevalence and odds ratio of cardiovascular risk factors in the groups with low and high concordance with DASH plan.

Variables	LC group (%)	HC group (%)	P value	OR (95% IC)
BMI ≥ 30 Kg/m²	42.4	42.6	0.587	0.99 (0.69–1.45)
Waist ≥ 88 cm	87.9	80.9	0.302	1.22 (0.80–1.86)
WHR ≥ 0.90 units	78.8	40.4	0.001	1.89 (1.30–2.77)
SBP ≥ 140 mmHg	57.6	38.3	0.070	1.39 (0.94–2.05)
DBP ≥ 90 mmHg	45.5	25.5	0.050	1.49 (0.93–2.36)
HDL-cholesterol ≤ 40 mg/dL	37.9	17.1	0.046	1.76 (1.04–2.98)
Cardiovascular risk ≥ 10%	72.4	36.6	0.003	1.84 (1.20–2.82)

All values are proportions (%). LC: lower concordance; HC: higher concordance; BMI: body mass index; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HDL: high density lipoprotein; P value obtained by Fisher’s exact test.
