The relationship between serum vitamin C levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in children.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between vitamin C nutritional status and inflammation has garnered increasing attention, but studies in younger populations are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum vitamin C and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in children and adolescents. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The demographic data of 1766 participants aged 6-19 years were analyzed using t-tests and chi-square tests. The relationship between serum vitamin C and hs-CRP levels was analyzed using logistic regression, trend tests, and smooth curve fitting. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were performed to assess the stability of the relationship across different populat
