Association between nocturia and serum albumin in the U.S. adults from NHANES 2005-2012.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nocturia, a prevalent chronic condition, impacts individuals' quality of life but remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess the association between serum albumin levels and nocturia.

Methods

Based on the analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2005-2012), our study included a total of 6345 adults (≥20 years old). Nocturia was defined as ≥2 nocturnal voiding episodes. Logistic regression and smooth curve fitting analyzed the linear and nonlinear correlations between serum albumin and nocturia, with subgroup analysis.

Results

Among 6345 participants, 1821 (28.7%) experienced nocturia. Logistic regression analysis revealed a linear negative correlation between serum albumin and nocturia risk (OR = 0.9549, 95%
