The relationship between energy intake and asthma in Americans aged 1-18 years: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of total dietary energy intake on asthma.

Study selection

The study was a retrospective cross-sectional study of Americans aged 1-18 year. Comprehensive demographic, dietary, examination, laboratory, and asthma questionnaire data were collected for each participant. Multivariate logistic regression, restricted triple spline curves, threshold effects, and stratified analyses were used for analysis.

Results

Of 12,090 participants, 1,893 (15.66%) had a diagnosis of asthma. After accounting for potential confounders, compared with the group with the lowest energy intake (Q1), groups 2 (Q2), groups 3 (Q3), and groups 4 (Q4) had adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 0.72 (0.62-0.85), 0.63 (0.51-0.77) and 0.55 (0.4
