Association of dietary live microbe intake with abdominal aortic calcification in US adults: a cross-sectional study of NHANES 2013-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Object

To explore the potential association between dietary live microbe intake and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC).

Methods

We conducted a cross-section study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We categorized the participants into three groups (low, medium, and high dietary intake of live microbes) according to Sanders's dietary live microbe classification system and participants' 24-h dietary recall data. AAC was quantified by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and diagnosed by using the Kauppila AAC-24 score system. The analyses utilized weighted logistic regression and weighted linear regression.

Results

A total of 2,586 participants were included. After the full adjustment for covariates, compared to participant
