Exploratory analysis on the relationship between dietary live microbe intake and arthritis: a national population based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The pathogenesis of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) remains unclear. This study aims to investigate whether the intake of live dietary microbes can be used as an auxiliary means for the treatment of arthritis.

Methods

Data used in the present research were originated from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003-2018. Participants involved in the present study were categorized into three groups based on the dietary live microbe classification system, namely low, medium, and high dietary live microbe groups. The analyses utilized weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The restricted cubic spline plot was used to explore the relationship between the high dietary live microbe grou
