The association between early-life famine exposure and hypertension risk in adulthood and its interaction with dietary inflammatory index among Chinese adults (opens in new tab)

However, findings on the association between famine exposure and the risk of hypertension remain inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between famine exposure at different early-life stages and the incidence of hypertension among Chinese adults, and further evaluate the interaction effect of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) on the risk of incid...
