Association of total, plant, and animal protein intake with hypertension among type 2 diabetic patients in Azar cohort population: A cross-sectional study
We found no evidence of an association between protein intake and hypertension among individuals with T2DM. However, in stratified analysis, there was a significant positive association between total protein intake and hypertension only in men. Future research should investigate potential, particularly sex-specific, mechanisms that may link dietary protein intake to hypertension in diverse populations.
