The association between milk fat intake and atopic dermatitis: A study based on NHANES from 1999 to 2006 and Mendelian randomization.

ABSTRACT: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease imposing significant global burden. While dietary factors are implicated in AD, the relationship between milk fat intake and AD risk remains unclear, particularly regarding optimal fat levels. This study aimed to investigate the association between milk fat intake and AD risk in adults. Relevant data (included a total of 9760 participants) from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2006 were selected, and the relationship between milk fat intake and AD was assessed using weighted multifactorial logistic regression. Subsequently, a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted using the summary statistics of genome-wide association studies, and the causal relationship between the
