Exploratory analysis on the association of dietary live microbe and non-dietary prebiotic/probiotic intake with serum cotinine levels in the general adult population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research has indicated the potential involvement of the microbiota in smoking-related processes. The present study seeks to examine the relationship between dietary live microbes, as well as probiotic or prebiotic consumption, and serum cotinine levels.

Methods

This study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018. Dietary intake information and probiotic/prebiotic intake data was collected through self-reported questionnaires. Participants were stratified into low, medium, and high intake groups according to their consumption of foods with varying microbial content. Multiple linear models were applied to explore the relationships of dietary live microbes, probiotic or prebiotic use with the serum cotinine level.
