We confirmed the individual associations of Vitamin C and Selenium with hypertension, showing significant negative correlations (p<0.05). Participants were then divided into four groups, and those with high intakes of both Vitamin C and Selenium had a significantly lower risk of hypertension (p<0.05), supporting the association between their combined intake and lower hypertension risk.The findings support the combined intake of Vitamin C and Selenium in hypertension prevention, broadening thoughts on the level of nutrition for the treatment of hypertension. These results suggest a potential association between adequate supplementation of Vitamin C and Selenium and lower blood pressure
