Association of the dietary index for gut microbiota with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women over 50.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the association between the dietary index for gut microbiota (DI-GM) and the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older in the United States. A total of 3520 postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2007 to 2018. Participants' DI-GM scores were obtained via a dietary questionnaire, and femoral bone mineral density was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
