This 2020 cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2005–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to investigate the association between dietary creatine intake and depression risk among 22,692 U.S. adults aged ≥20 years. Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), with a score ≥10 indicating depression. Dietary
This 2024 cohort study analyzed data from 32,995 U.S. adults (mean age 46.7 years; 50.1% women) from the NHANES 1999–2018 cycles to evaluate trends in Body Roundness Index (BRI) and its association with all-cause mortality. BRI, which incorporates waist circumference and height, increased from 4.80 to 5.62 over the study
This 2010 study analyzed data from the 2005–2006 NHANES to investigate the relationship between prescription H1 antihistamine use and obesity in adults. The analysis included 268 antihistamine users and 599 matched controls. Findings revealed that antihistamine users had significantly higher body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and insulin concentrations compared to
This 2010 study analyzed data from the NHANES 1999–2002 survey to investigate the relationship between body burdens of selected toxic metals and obesity measures, including body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. The researchers found that higher levels of barium and thallium were significantly associated with increased BMI and waist
This 2018 study analyzed data from NHANES III (1988–1994) and NHANES IV (2007–2010) to assess shifts in biological aging among U.S. adults. Findings indicated that biological age decreased over time, particularly among older adults and males. These improvements were partially attributed to changes in modifiable behaviors such as reduced smoking
This pooled analysis of over 34,000 U.S. adults from NHANES III (1988–1994) and continuous NHANES (1999–2006) examined associations between serum levels of antioxidant vitamins (A, C, D, α- and γ-tocopherol) and respiratory health outcomes. Lower serum vitamin C was linked to increased odds of wheeze (aOR: 1.08), and among smokers,
This 2012 cohort study published in Magnesium Research analyzed data from 4,107 U.S. adults in the NHANES 2001–2006 dataset to examine the relationship between magnesium intake and serum vitamin D levels. The findings showed that higher magnesium intake was significantly associated with increased serum 25(OH)D levels and a lower risk
This 2015 observational study published in Nutrition Research analyzed data from 9,148 U.S. adults aged 40 and older using NHANES 2005–2010 to examine the relationship between dietary magnesium intake, C-reactive protein (CRP), and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The study found that individuals in the highest quintile of magnesium
This 2014 cohort study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition analyzed data from 13,504 U.S. adults in NHANES III to examine the association between magnesium intake and liver disease mortality over a follow-up period through 2006. The study found that individuals with higher magnesium intake had a significantly
This 2022 observational study used data from 4,039 U.S. adults aged 45 and older (NHANES 1999–2002) to explore the relationship between dietary magnesium intake and leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a biomarker of cellular aging. Researchers found that higher magnesium intake was significantly associated with longer LTL, with participants consuming ≥299
