Association of dietary vitamin E intake with lipid accumulation product: A population-based study in the United States

Background

Numerous investigations have shown a negative correlation between the consumption of vitamin E and the development of different diseases. Nonetheless, the association between vitamin E consumption and lipid accumulation product (LAP) in various demographic groups is still not well understood. The objective of this study is to examine the link between vitamin E consumption and LAP among various populations, offering valuable information to guide suggestions for vitamin E intake and strategies for managing body lipids.

Results

Upon correction for possible confounding factors, it was observed that the consumption of vitamin E exhibited a noteworthy inverse correlation with LAP. Model 1 controlled for age, gender, and race. Model 2 factored in marital status, poverty-to-income ratio (PIR), education, alcohol consumption, smoker, and body mass index (BMI), and Model 3 accounted for all variables. Vitamin E, viewed as a continuous factor, demonstrated a negative correlation with LAP in the dataset. Further subgroup investigations validated a reverse connection between the consumption of vitamin E and LAP. The outcomes of the sensitivity analysis bolster the durability and dependability of the findings deduced in this analysis.

Conclusion

Upon analysis of data obtained from the NHANES database covering the years 1999 through 2018, the investigation identified a negative correlation between the intake of vitamin E and LAP.
