Abstract
Background: Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a common metabolic disorder, yet the impact of diet and gut microbiota on uric acid metabolism remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the dietary index for gut microbiota (DI-GM) and HUA using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Methods: This study employed NHANES data gathered from 2007 to 2020, encompassing 25,899 adults aged 18 years and older. The DI-GM, which spans from 0 to 14, was calculated based on dietary recall information. The diagnosis of HUA was established through laboratory findings. To examine the relationship between DI-GM and HUA, multivariable logistic regression was utilized, accounting for pertinent confounding variables.
Results: Upon adjusting for possible confounding variables, an elevated DI-GM score demonstrated a notable correlation with a reduced likelihood of HUA [odds ratio (OR) = 0.968, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.949-0.987, p = 0.005]. Subjects exhibiting a DI-GM score of ≥6 demonstrated a markedly reduced risk of HUA in contrast to those scoring between 0 and 3 (OR = 0.897, 95% CI = 0.821-0.980, p = 0.016).
Conclusion: A higher DI-GM score is inversely related to the risk of HUA.
期刊介绍:
No subject pertains more to human life than nutrition. The aim of Frontiers in Nutrition is to integrate major scientific disciplines in this vast field in order to address the most relevant and pertinent questions and developments. Our ambition is to create an integrated podium based on original research, clinical trials, and contemporary reviews to build a reputable knowledge forum in the domains of human health, dietary behaviors, agronomy & 21st century food science. Through the recognized open-access Frontiers platform we welcome manuscripts to our dedicated sections relating to different areas in the field of nutrition with a focus on human health.
Specialty sections in Frontiers in Nutrition include, for example, Clinical Nutrition, Nutrition & Sustainable Diets, Nutrition and Food Science Technology, Nutrition Methodology, Sport & Exercise Nutrition, Food Chemistry, and Nutritional Immunology. Based on the publication of rigorous scientific research, we thrive to achieve a visible impact on the global nutrition agenda addressing the grand challenges of our time, including obesity, malnutrition, hunger, food waste, sustainability and consumer health.
