“…The poor diet quality and low intake of essential micronutrients, associated with low %E P:C in our study, is linked to inflammatory mechanisms underlying many complex diseases which increase disease risk and death from all-cause (45). Such a diet is often linked with various metabolic disorders, increased oxidative stress (46)(47)(48), altering blood pressure, lipid profile (49, 50), and reduced insulin sensitivity (9). It also increases the risk of T2DM (1), hypertension (50), metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular diseases (51), decreased mobility, increased risk of falls and fractures (52), and some cancers (45).…”

BackgroundDietary protein and carbohydrate intake and health outcomes have received extensive attention in recent years. However, the nutritional context in which these associations occur is less studied.ObjectivesWe aimed to examine the dietary context associating protein-to-carbohydrate ratio and all-cause mortality in US adults.MethodsData from 17,814 adults enrolled in the 2007–2014 NHANES was analyzed. Information on mortality was obtained from the US mortality registry updated in December 2015. Diet quality was assessed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and Total Nutrients Index (TNI). ANCOVA was used to test the mean differences in HEI and TNI scores across %E P:C quintiles. Linear regression examined the association of HEI and TNI with %E P:C. Cox proportional hazards regression evaluated the association between %E P:C and all-cause mortality. A restricted cubic spline examined the non-linear relationship between %E P:C and death.ResultsLow %E P:C was associated with lower HEI and TNI scores while higher %E P:C was associated with healthier HEI and TNI scores. HEI and TNI were positively associated with %E P:C (β = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.19–0.25, and β = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.14–0.18), respectively. Low %E P:C was associated with an increased risk of death from all-cause. The higher HRs (95% CIs) of all-cause mortality were 1.97(1.46–2.65), and 7.35 (2.57–21.03) in the second quintile for the age-sex-ethnicity model, and the fully adjusted model, respectively. There was a significant reverse U-shape relationship between %E P:C and all-cause mortality with P, non-linearity < 0.001.ConclusionThis study indicates that a low %E P:C that gives emphasis to unhealthy foods increases the risk of death. Hence, it would be useful to consider the complete diet associated with protein intake when making dietary recommendations for populations.
