Interaction effects of dietary carotenoid intake and gamma-glutamyl transferase level on the prevalence of stroke in older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The possible interaction between dietary carotenoid intake and blood gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels in patients with stroke has not been well studied. We investigated the effect of the interaction between dietary carotenoid intake and blood GGT levels on the prevalence of stroke.

Methods

Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2018, we conducted a cross-sectional study that included individuals residing in the United States and aged ≥60 years. Univariate logistic regression, multivariate-adjusted logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline methods were used to assess the correlation between GGT levels, dietary carotenoid intake, and the prevalence of stroke. Finally, the relative excess risk of interactions, attribut
