Association of dietary approaches to stop hypertension, genetic predisposition, and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders: a prospective cohort study.

Adherence to Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet is associated with a modestly reduced risk of overall musculoskeletal disorders in European populations.

In disease-specific analyses, protective associations were observed for OA, low back pain, and neck pain, whereas associations with RA and gout were less consistent.

The protective association is broadly consistent across most genetic risk strata, although a potential interaction was noted for RA.
