Flavonoid intake, inflammation, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the dietary intake of total flavonoids and their six subclasses and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in adults, and to evaluate the potential mediating effect of inflammation in this association.

Methods

Cross-sectional data from 3841 individuals participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018 were included in the analysis. Flavonoid intake was assessed using a 2-day dietary recall method, and ASCVD status was determined by extracting relevant information from the medical condition questionnaire. To determine the relationship between flavonoid intake and ASCVD risk, we employed logistic regression, subgroup, mediation, and restricted cubic spline anal
