Association between total sugar intake and all-cause mortality according to bone health status: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between total sugar intake and all-cause mortality remains insufficiently understood. This study aimed to evaluate the association between total sugar intake and all-cause mortality among individuals with varying bone health status. This retrospective cohort study was based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 15,886 participants were included, comprising 9783 individuals with normal bone density and 6103 with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Cox proportional hazards regression models and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the association between total sugar intake and all-cause mortality across different bone health statuses. Restricted cubic splines were applied to explore potential nonlinear relationships. Subgroup analyses were
