This study aimed at examining trends in magnesium intake among U.S. Hispanic adults stratified by gender, Hispanic origins, age, and poverty income ratio (PIR) level. Data on 9304 Hispanic adults aged ≥20 years from eight National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles (1999–2014) were included in this study. For each cycle, survey-weighted mean dietary and total magnesium intakes were estimated. The prevalence of dietary and total magnesium intake below the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) was further estimated stratified by gender and age groups. Linear regression was used to test trend. Over the survey cycles, both dietary and total magnesium intakes were significantly increased among Hispanic adults. In the study period, magnesium intake tended to be lower in females, adults in other Hispanic-origin group, those aged ≥65 years old, and those with a PIR <1.0. The prevalence of magnesium intake inadequacy decreased among Hispanic adults; however, more than 70% of Hispanic males and females continued to have magnesium intake below the RDA in 2013–2014. From 1999/2000 to 2013/2014, despite several improvements in magnesium intake having been identified, additional findings showed insufficient intake in Hispanic males and females, suggesting the need to improve magnesium intake through diet and dietary supplementation for U.S. Hispanics.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of dyslipidemia and identify the predictors of optimal control (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol < 100 mg/dL) among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using the representative Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014–2018). Overall, 4311 patients with DM, aged ≥19 years, and without cardiovascular diseases were selected, and the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of dyslipidemia were calculated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the factors influencing the optimal control of dyslipidemia. Results Dyslipidemia was prevalent in 83.3% of patients with DM, but the awareness and treatment rates were 36.5 and 26.9%, respectively. The control rate among all patients with dyslipidemia was 18.8%, whereas it was 61.1% among those being treated. Prevalence and awareness rates were also significantly higher in women than in men. Dyslipidemia was most prevalent in those aged 19–39 years, but the rates of awareness, treatment, and control among all patients with dyslipidemia in this age group were significantly lower than those in other age groups. The predictors of optimal control were age ≥ 40 years [range 40–49 years: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.43–9.72; 50–59 years: aOR 6.25, 95% CI 2.50–15.65; 60–69 years: aOR 6.96, 95% CI 2.77–17.44; 70–79 years: aOR 9.21, 95% CI 3.58–23.74; and ≥ 80 years: aOR 4.43, 95% CI 1.60–12.27]; urban living (aOR 1.44, 95% CI 1.15–1.80); higher body mass index (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.13–1.42); lower glycated hemoglobin levels (aOR 0.71, 95% CI 0.67–0.76); hypertension (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.22–1.92); poorer self-rated health status (aOR 0.72, 95% CI 0.62–0.84); and receiving regular health check-ups (aOR 1.58, 95% CI 1.25–2.00). Conclusions Most patients with DM were diagnosed with dyslipidemia, but many were unaware of or untreated for their condition. Therefore, their control rate was suboptimal. Thus, by understanding factors influencing optimal control of dyslipidemia, physicians should make more effort to encourage patients to undergo treatment and thus, adequately control their dyslipidemia.

The purpose of the present study was to analyse vegetable intake by the Korean population based on different meal formats. Twenty-four-hour dietary recall data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to assess daily vegetable intake and consumption ratio of vegetables for different meal types/dining locations. Analysis was stratified by sex and age group. Daily vegetable intake increased from 293·5 g in 1998 to 305·7 g in 2001 and to 335·9 g in 2005. Findings were similar in men and women, as well as in each age group. Analyses for each meal type revealed that vegetable intake during breakfast did not substantially change, but vegetable intake increased during lunch and dinner. While vegetable consumption ratio during breakfast decreased, it increased during lunch and snack time. Men and women showed similar change in the analysis for meal types and dining locations. There were some differences between the age groups in daily vegetable intake depending on the meal type. Another notable observation was the increasing change of vegetable intake during lunch and during meals eaten at cafeterias and restaurants in all the age groups. Analysis of vegetable consumption ratio showed an increased consumption in cafeterias, restaurants, and other places and decreased vegetable intake at home for those aged 16–64 years with time. Since this change may be related to improvements in socioeconomic status, it will be necessary to further investigate difference in vegetable intake based on socioeconomic levels within the population.

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the association between vitamin B12 (B12)-containing supplement use, low B12 concentrations and biochemically defined B12 deficiency in US adults.DesignA cross-sectional study with adjustment for survey design. Prevalence ratios for two age groups (18–50 and >50 years) were estimated using unconditional logistic models. Outcome measures included prevalence of low serum B12 concentration (<148 pmol/l) and biochemical B12 deficiency (serum B12 < 148 pmol/l with concomitant homocysteine > 10 μmol/l).SettingA population survey of health and nutritional measures.SubjectsSubjects were non-institutionalized adults, aged 18 years and older, who participated in Phase 2 of NHANES III (Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey).ResultsLow B12 concentrations were less prevalent among persons consuming B12-containing supplements (P = 0·001) with an adjusted prevalence ratio of 0·6 (95 % CI 0·3, 1·0). Biochemical B12 deficiency showed a similar trend (P = 0·0002), with an adjusted prevalence ratio of 0·3 (95 % CI 0·1, 0·8). Prevalence ratios were similar in adults >50 years of age, although the prevalence of low B12 and biochemical deficiency was proportionally higher.ConclusionsConsumption of B12-containing supplements was associated with at least 50 % lower prevalence of both low serum B12 and biochemical B12 deficiency in a nationally representative sample of US adults, suggesting increased consumption of B12 from supplements or from fortified foods may reduce the prevalence of B12 deficiency. Additionally, the current Recommended Daily Allowance for B12 of 2·4 μg may be insufficient for those aged >50 years.

Background and Objectives: Hyperuricemia is associated with several comorbidities. The association between uric acid (UA) and pulmonary function is still a controversial issue. This study evaluated the gender-specific association of serum UA and pulmonary function. Materials and Methods: A total of 3177 (weighted n = 19,770,902) participants aged 40 years or older were selected from the 2016 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and included. Results: Female participants with hyperuricemia were older than participants with normouricemia. Body mass index (BMI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were significantly associated with UA levels in both males and females. Hyperuricemia and increase in UA quartile were significantly associated with decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in females after adjustment for age, income, region, education, marital status, alcohol consumption, smoking, BMI, MAP, HbA1c, and eGFR. There was no significant association between UA levels and lung function in males. After additional adjustment for respiratory disease including pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma, and lung cancer, the association between hyperuricemia and decreased FEV1 and FVC in females was revealed. Conclusions: Hyperuricemia was associated with decreased FVE1 and FVC in the female general population.

Abstract Background: Whether beverage consumption pattern is associated with risk of metanolic syndrome (MetS) and stroke is of public health interest. Methods: We examined the associations between the healthy beverage index (HBI) scores with prevalence of MetS and stroke among 4162 participants aged 20-80 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2014) in U.S. Binary logistic regression was used to estimate odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), while adjusting for potential confounders and stratifying by gender. Results: For the prevalence of stroke, there was an inverse association between HBI scores and stroke (adj. OR for Q4 versus Q1: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.27–0.81), and gender stratified models were similar. However, there was a positive association between HBI scores and MetS (adj. OR for Q4 versus Q1: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.46–1.79) in the total participants, and gender stratified models were different. Higher HBI scores was associated with lower prevalence of MetS in females (adj. OR for Q4 versus Q1: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.65–1.38), but with higher prevalence of MetS in males (adj. OR for Q4 versus Q1: 2.02; 95% CI: 1.37–2.99). Further analyses demonstrated differences in the association of SSBs, coffee and tea, alcohol, diet drinks and full-fat milk consumption with MetS and stroke in the total subjects, males and females. Conclusions: Our findings suggested that the HBI scores was a negative association with stroke in a representative U.S. population, and the higher HBI scores was associated with increased prevalence of MetS in males but decreased in females, which may be caused by the same beverage may play a different role in the prevalence of MetS and stroke in the total participants,males and females.
