- Higher low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) scores are linked to lower odds of osteoporosis in hypertensive adults.
- Each unit increase in LCD score corresponds to a 2.1% decrease in osteoporosis risk (OR = 0.979).
- Individuals in the highest LCD score quartile have significantly lower osteoporosis odds compared to the lowest (OR = 0.571).
- A linear inverse dose-response relationship exists between LCD score and osteoporosis risk.
- Physical activity modifies the association between LCD score and osteoporosis, indicating interaction effects.
- The study suggests dietary patterns, specifically low-carbohydrate diets, may play a role in bone health for hypertensive populations.
