Abstract:Background
The association between soy isoflavones intake and cardiometabolic health remains inconclusive. We investigated the associations of urinary biomarkers of isoflavones including daidzein, glycitein, genistein, equol (a gut microbial metabolite of daidzein), and equol‐predicting microbial species with cardiometabolic risk markers.
Methods and Results
In a 1‐year study of 305 Chinese community‐dwelling adults aged ≥18 years, urinar… Show more
