High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and nasal colonization of Staphylococcus aureus: results from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is negatively associated with infectious diseases, but the relationship between HDL-C and nasal colonization of Staphylococcus aureus is unclear.

Objective

To investigate the relationship between HDL-C and nasal colonization of Staphylococcus aureus.

Methods

The cross-sectional study included 7731 participants from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Inspection Survey (NHANES) survey cycle who had complete data. After adjusting demographics and lifestyle, we used multivariate logistic regression to analyze the relationship between HDL-C and nasal colonization of Staphylococcus aureus. We also used restricted cubic splines (RCS) to analyze the nonlinear relationship between HDL-C and nasal colonization of
