Abstract

Prior research shows that diets high in government subsidized foods may be associated with cardiometabolic disease risk factors. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between diets high in subsidized foods and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other cardiometabolic risk factors in United States (US) Hispanics/Latinos. Using data from 16,172 Hispanics/Latino's living in the United States, we used the Cochran-Armitage test to assess the relationship between subsidized foods in the diets of participants and baseline characteristics. We used survey-weighted Poisson regression models to examine whether intake of subsidized foods was associated with incident CKD or cardiometabolic risk factors. Several baseline characteristics were associated with higher subsidized food scores. Higher subsidized food scores were not associated with incident CKD or cardiometabolic risk factors. These findings may be useful for future researchers, clinicians, and nutritional policy advocates who are interested in the way Hispanic and Latinos consume foods subsidized by the US government and the structural factors that may shape observed dietary and disease patterns.
