Abstract：Objective To investigate the association between healthy eating index -2005(HEI-2005)and risk of hypertension in Guangzhou rural residents,so as to provide information on the development of relevant health policies and rational allocation of health resources.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Guangzhou rural resi-dents.General demographic characteristics,health-related behaviors and dietary status was obtained in one -on-one interviews.The double data entry was made by Epidata 3.02.The statistics was made by SAS9.4.Results The mean score of HEI-2005 in this study was 48.82(45.07-52.06).The scores of smokers and drinkers were significantly low-er than those of non -smokers and non-drinkers.After adjustment for multivariate factors,greater diet quality scores on the HEI-2005 showed a significant association with a lower risk of hypertension.(OR=0.28,P<0.05).Conclusion A better diet quality as characterized by a higher HEI -2005 is associated with a reduced likelihood of having hyperten-sion in Guangzhou rural residents.
