BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Dietary pattern and its association with @entity66 have not been studied in Baoji city by now. This study was aimed to identify the dietary patterns among Chinese adults in Baoji, and explore the association between these dietary patterns and @entity66 . SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 4,968 @entity1 were included in this study at 12 counties. With multistage stratified random sampling and semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire, the prevalence of @entity66 and dietary intake were investigated in 2013. We used factor analysis to establish dietary patterns. RESULTS: A total of 4,968 @entity1 over 15 years old were included in this study. Five dietary patterns were identified in Baoji: protein, balanced, beans, prudent, and traditional patterns. The protein dietary pattern mainly included animal and plant proteins and was negatively associated with @entity101 as well as @entity64 . The balanced pattern included @entity3363 , protein, and fat and was negatively associated with @entity101 as well as @entity64 . The beans pattern was mainly beans and beans products and was negatively associated with @entity101 . The prudent pattern only included staple foods and pickled vegetables and was positively associated with @entity101 as well as @entity301 . The traditional pattern was representative of local Baoji traditional recipes and was positively associated with @entity101 . CONCLUSIONS: The protein, balanced, and beans dietary patterns showed many protective effects on @entity66 . Based on these results, Baoji city residents should be encouraged to choose protein, balanced, and beans dietary patterns and abandon prudent and traditional patterns to prevent incidence of @entity101 , @entity301 , and @entity64 .
