- The study examines the association between dietary fiber intake and hypertension in U.S. adults.
- Physical activity modifies the protective effect of dietary fiber on hypertension.
- Lower dietary fiber intake is associated with increased odds of hypertension, especially in highly active individuals.
- No significant association was found between dietary fiber and hypertension in low or moderately active groups.
- Machine learning models confirmed the protective effect of higher fiber intake against hypertension, particularly in active individuals.
- The findings emphasize the interplay between diet and physical activity in hypertension prevention.
