Dietary carotenoid intake and fracture risk based on NHANES 2013-2018 data: a propensity score matching.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Several epidemiological studies have reported inconsistent findings on the association between carotenoid intake and fracture risk. This study aimed to determine the association between individual carotenoid intake and fracture risk.

Methods

A cross-sectional study based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2013-2018. This study identified elderly individuals with valid and complete data on carotenoid intake and fracture risk. The average dietary intakes of α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and lutein + zeaxanthin was taken based on the two 24-hour recall interviews.
