We examined whether there are differences in dietary risk factors associated with having hypertension (HTN = blood pressure >=140/90 mmHg) only, DM (diabetes = fasting glucose >125 mg/dL) only, or both HTN and DM using data from 1,877 women (ages 35–68y) in the 2005 Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. About 24% had HTN only, 5% had DM only and 4% had both HTN/DM. Women consumed a mean of 14% of energy from protein and about 15% of them consumed >4600mg sodium/d. Main sources of protein were pork and products while sodium mostly came from table salt and other salty condiments added during cooking or at the table. Multinomial logistic regression models adjusted for age, waist circumference, overweight duration, physical activity and other confounders showed that compared to having no HTN or DM, high sodium intake was related to having HTN only [OR (95% CI): 1.5 (1.1, 2.0)] but not to DM only [0.89 (0.47, 1.70)]. Women with higher % protein intake were more likely to have both HTN/DM [1.07 (1.01, 1.12)] than have HTN only [1.0 (0.98, 1.03)] or DM only [1.02 (0.97, 1.07)]. Results suggest that although HTN and DM often co‐exist, it remains important to consider these diseases separately in designing diet programs. R01TW008288
