Association of niacin intake and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: findings from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aims to explore the relationship between niacin intake and the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) within a large, multi-ethnic cohort.

Methods

A total of 2946 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were carefully selected based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants meeting the eligibility criteria underwent two dietary recall interviews, and niacin intake was calculated using the USDA's Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS). Liver steatosis was diagnosed using a Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) of 248 dB/m, and MASLD diagnosis was based on metabolic indicators. Weighted multivariate logistic regression was utilized to analyze the corre
