Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality and represent a major disease burden in Mexico. Diets high in fat, sugars, and sodium influence the onset and development of cardiometabolic alterations; however, their effect on health may depend on individual genetics. Variations in the TAS2R38 gene have been shown to influence food preferences, which may impact health status. The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction of TAS2R38 haplotypes (AVV and PAI) with dietary intake and their relationship with cardiometabolic risk in Mexican adults.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality and represent a major disease burden in Mexico. Diets high in fat, sugars, and sodium influence the onset and development of cardiometabolic alterations; however, their effect on health may depend on individual genetics. Variations in the TAS2R38 gene have been shown to influence food preferences, which may impact health status. The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction of TAS2R38 haplotypes (AVV and PAI) with dietary intake and their relationship with cardiometabolic risk in Mexican adults.
Methods
A secondary cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 375 adults of both sexes from Guadalajara (Jalisco). Habitual dietary intake was assessed using validated 3-day 24-hour recalls. Allelic discrimination assays were used for polymorphism determination. Chi-2 tests and logistic regression were applied. A previously approved database by a Research Ethics Committee (ID#HC141/09) was used, in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, ensuring participant confidentiality, anonymity, and the exclusive use of the information for scientific and academic purposes.

Results
Significant interactions were identified between the AVV and PAI haplotypes in relation to nutrient intake. Specifically, individuals with the AVV/AVV haplotype showed that, as energy intake increased, total cholesterol levels increased compared to carriers of the PAI haplotype (P = 0.029). Consistently, higher lipid intake (g) in this same group was associated with higher total cholesterol concentrations (P = 0.033). Likewise, in individuals with the AVV/AVV haplotype, a higher percentage of dietary lipids was significantly associated with higher levels of both diastolic and systolic blood pressure (P = 0.019 and p = 0.010, respectively). Finally, within this group, higher consumption of fruit equivalents was associated with higher glucose levels (P = 0.034).

Conclusions
TAS2R38 haplotypes (AVV and PAI) are significantly associated with dietary intake and cardiometabolic risk in Mexican adults, reflecting the influence of genetic variability on food preferences and health, and supporting the use of genetic profiling for personalized nutrition strategies.
