Associations between HEI 2010 and mortality from all-cause (A) and heart disease (B) among participants with hypertension from NHANES 2007–2014 (n = 6,690). The dose–response relationships between HEI 2010 scores and all-cause and heart disease mortality were assessed by a restricted cubic spline regression model with four knots (5th, 35th, 65th, and 95th percentiles) adjusted for age (continuous), sex (men or women), ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, Mexican American, and other race), education (below high school, high school, and above high school), BMI (continuous), smoking status (never smoker, former smoker, and current smoker), drinking status (non-drinker, low-to-moderate drinker, and heavy drinker), recreational activity (inactive, moderately active, and vigorously active), total energy intakes (in quartiles), blood pressure level (SBP/DBP ≥ 160/100 mmHg or SBP/DBP <160/100 mmHg), anti-hypertensive medicine use (yes or no), hyperlipidemia (yes or no), diabetes (yes or no), and CVD (yes or no). Gray-shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals. For all-cause mortality, P-linearity was <0.001, and for heart disease mortality, 0.010.
