Relationship between dietary selenium intake and hyperlipidemia: a population-based study from NHANES (2011–2018)
摘要
Selenium helps to prevent oxidative stress and inflammation, while the relationship between dietary selenium intake (DSeI) and hyperlipidemia has not been reported. Our goal is to explore the relationship between DSeI and hyperlipidemia.
MethodsThe multivariate logistic regression analysis model was employed to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of DSeI on hyperlipidemia. A non-linear relationship was explored using a restricted cubic spline (RCS) model. Group differences were statistically evaluated using the t-test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables. Utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2011 to 2018, participants were selected.
ResultsA total of 7,715 participants (5,424 with hyperlipidemia and 2,291 without) were analyzed from the study. A significant inverse correlation was observed between DSeI and hyperlipidemia, with the highest DSeI quartile exhibiting a 19% reduced odds of hyperlipidemia compared to the lowest (OR = 0.81, 95% CI [0.69–0.95], p < 0.001). Two-segment linear regression analysis revealed a non-linear relationship between DSeI and hyperlipidemia, indicating a potential threshold effect.
ConclusionsOur study demonstrated a statistically significant association between DSeI levels and hyperlipidemia. To further elucidate the role of DSeI in hyperlipidemia, larger-scale, and prospective studies are warranted.
