Background: Osteoporosis, characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) increases the risk of allcause mortality. Assessments of whether dietary selenium intake is related to bone health are scarce, with few relevant studies limited by a small sample size. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between dietary selenium intake and BMD levels in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Methods:We extracted and aggregated data from 4 cycles of the NHANES [2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2013][2014].Dietary selenium intake was obtained from 24-hour dietary recall interviews. BMD measurement, including the femur, femur neck, trochanter and intertrochanter of the femur, and lumbar spine, was performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The multivariable linear regression model for the association between dietary selenium intake and BMD and the generalized additive model (GAM) for the dose-response relationship were used.Results: A total of 21,939 participants were included. The mean age was 40.68±22.42 years, and 51.28% were male. In the multivariable adjustment model, participants with the highest quintiles of dietary selenium intake (Q5) were associated with increased BMD levels in the total femur (β=0.
Assessments of whether dietary selenium intake is related to bone health are scarce, with few relevant studies limited by its small sample. The aim of present study was to investigated the association between dietary selenium intake and bone mineral density (BMD) levels in different sites, including total femur, femur neck, trochanter and intertrochanter in femur and lumbar spine in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Generalized linear models for the association between dietary selenium intake and BMD and generalized additive model for the dose-response relationship were used. A total of 21939 participants were included, and the mean age was 40.68 ± 22.42 years, and 51.28% were male. In multivariable adjustment model, participants had highest quintiles of dietary selenium intake (Q5) were associated with increased BMD levels in total femur (β=0.014, 95CI%: 0.008, 0.020, P<0.001), femur neck (β=0.010, 95CI%: 0.004, 0.016, P=0.001), trochanter (β=0.011, 95CI%: 0.005, 0.017, P<0.001), intertrochanter (β=0.017, 95CI%: 0.010, 0.025, P<0.001) and lumbar spine (β=0.013, 95CI%: 0.005, 0.020, P<0.001) compared with those in quintiles 1 (Q1). The dose-response relationship showed the inverted U-shape relationship between dietary selenium relationship and BMD levels (P for non-linearity <0.05). Participants tended to have increased levels of BMD as the dietary selenium intake increased when dietary selenium was below the turning point, and then a negative relation was observed when dietary was higher than the turning point. Our study indicated that higher dietary selenium intake was associated with increased BMD levels in total femur, femur neck, trochanter, intertrochanter, and lumbar spine, and these relationships were nonlinear. Future high-quality, prospective longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
