Association of dietary patterns of American adults with bone mineral density and fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In a representative sample of US adults, we investigated the associations of nutrient patterns (NP) with bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Setting

US community-based National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Subjects

Participants with measured data on dietary intake and BMD from 2005 to 2010 were included. Principal components analysis was used to identify NP. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. ANCOVA, adjusted logistic and linear regression models were employed, accounting for the complex survey design and sample weights.

Results

We included a total of 18 318 participants, with 47·0 % (n 8607) being men. The mean age was 45·8 years with no sex difference. Three NP emerged,
