Association between dietary carotenoids intake and fecal incontinence in American adults: evidence from NAHNES 2005-2010.

ABSTRACT:

Object

Carotenoids represent a class of bioactive compounds with potential implications for gut health. However, the relationship between dietary carotenoid intake (DCI) and fecal incontinence (FI) remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the association between DCI and the risk of FI.

Methods

Participants aged 20 and above from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2005-2010) were included in the study. Data on FI were derived from the bowel health questionnaire, while DCI information was obtained from dietary interviews. Survey-weighted logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to evaluate the relationship between DCI, its subtypes, and FI. Weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression was utilized to assess the ove
