Association of dietary quality indicators with gallstones in the US: NHANES 2017-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While dietary factors are known to influence gallstone development, the specific relationships between comprehensive dietary quality indicators and gallstone risk remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the association between dietary quality indicators and gallstones using data from the 2017 to 2020 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods

A total of 6,623 US adults were extracted from the 2017-2020 NHANES, of which 734 participants self-reported having gallstones. Dietary quality indicators were assessed using 24-hour dietary recall data. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to evaluate the association between dietary quality indicators and the likelihood of gallstones. To delineate the non-linear relations
