The association between daily calcium intake and the prevalence of chronic diarrhea was assessed using weighted logistic regression models, calculating odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI), while controlling for potential confounding factors. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to explore the potential non-linear association between calcium intake and the prevalence of chronic diarrhea, and subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the effect differences across various population groups.

A total of 507 participants were identified as having chronic diarrhea, including 214 males and 293 females. After adjusting for multiple covariates, higher calcium intake was significantly associated with a reduced prevalence of chronic diarrhea (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.49-0.95, P = 0.028).
