International audience. Purpose: Dietary macronutrients significantly impact cardiometabolic health, yet research often focuses on individual macronutrient relationships. This study aimed to explore the associations between dietary macronutrient composition and cardiometabolic health. Methods: This study included 33,681 US adults (49.7 ± 18.3 years; 52.5% female) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during 1999u20132014. Dietary data was derived from 1 to 2 separate 24-hour recalls and cardiometabolic health included lipid profile, glycemic control, blood pressure, and adiposity collected in a mobile examination center. Associations between dietary macronutrient composition and cardiometabolic health were examined using generalized additive models adjusted for age, socio-demographics, lifestyle, and diet quality. Results: In females, triglycerides (P < 0.01) and HDL cholesterol (P < 0.01) were the least optimal in diets containing lower fat (10%) and higher carbohydrate (75%). In males, HDL cholesterol was positively associated with fat (P < 0.01) and no association with triglycerides was detected. Total-C associations were male specific (P = 0.01) and highest in diets composed of 25% protein, 30% carbohydrate, and 45% fat. In both sexes, systolic blood pressure (P ≤ 0.02) was highest in diets containing lower fat (10%) coupled with moderate protein (25%). Diastolic blood pressure associations were female specific (P < 0.01) with higher values in those consuming the upper range of fat (55%). There were no associations of macronutrient composition with glycemic control or adiposity. Conclusion: This study revealed sex-specific relationships between macronutrient composition and cardiometabolic health. Future research is needed to explore these relationships across age groups.
