Abbreviations: ABSI, a body shape index; FCS, food consumption score; FCG, food consumption group; FS, food security; HTN, hypertension; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; CI, confidence interval; β coef., β coefficient. Mediation analysis test was used an independent variable (2007 & 2014) and a dependent variable (2007 & 2014). a Hypertension categorical data (hypertensive vs. non-hypertensive) as an independent variable. Hypertensive defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg. b Food consumption score was used as a continuous data. c Food consumption group categorized as poor, borderline, and acceptable. d Food security level categorized as food secure, food insecure.
