Dietary folate intake and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in American adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Data from NHANES 2003 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between dietary folate intake and prior mortality in adult patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has not been clearly studied. We aimed to examine the relationship between dietary folate intake and all-cause and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality in adult NAFLD patients in the US.

Methods

Using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018 and associated mortality data we conducted a cohort study of US adult NAFLD subjects. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary folate intake and both all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, accounting for potential confounders. The study employed restricted cubic spline analysis to investigate the
