Association between Dietary Niacin Intake and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: NHANES 2003-2018.

ABSTRACT: Evidence regarding the association between dietary niacin intake and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is limited. The objective of this study was to examine the association of dietary niacin intake with NAFLD. Subjects aged 20 years and older who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018 were included in this study. Dietary niacin intake was assessed by two 24-h dietary recalls. NAFLD was defined using the United States fatty liver index (US-FLI). Weighted logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines were used to examine the association between dietary niacin and NAFLD. Of the 12,355 participants in this study, 4378 had NAFLD. There is no evident nonlinear relationship between dietary niacin intake and the presence of NAFLD in the restricted cubic spline regression (p_overall < 0.001; p_{non-linearity} = 0.068). The multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for NAFLD were 0.84 (0.68-1.03), 0.80 (0.65-0.97), and 0.69 (0.55-0.85), respectively, when comparing the second, third, and fourth quartiles of niacin intake levels to the lowest quartile (p_trend = 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the effect of niacin intake on NAFLD varied in the group with or without hypertension (p_interaction = 0.033). In conclusion, our results indicate that higher dietary niacin intake may be associated with a lower likelihood of NAFLD.

Project description:Objective The hepatotoxicity of exposure to a single heavy metal has been examined in previous studies. However, there is limited evidence on the association between heavy metals mixture and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This study aims to investigate the associations of 13 urinary metals, individually and jointly, with NAFLD, MAFLD, and MAFLD components. Methods This study included 5,548 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2018. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the associations between individual metal exposures and MAFLD, NAFLD, and MAFLD components. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and Quantile-based g-computation (QGC) were used to investigate the association of metal mixture exposure with these outcomes. Results In single metal analysis, increased levels of arsenic [OR 1.09 (95%CI 1.03–1.16)], dimethylarsinic acid [1.17 (95%CI 1.07–1.27)], barium [1.22 (95%CI 1.14–1.30)], cobalt [1.22 (95%CI 1.11–1.34)], cesium [1.35 (95%CI 1.18–1.54)], molybdenum [1.45 (95%CI 1.30–1.62)], antimony [1.18 (95%CI 1.08–1.29)], thallium [1.49 (95%CI 1.33–1.67)], and tungsten [1.23 (95%CI 1.15–1.32)] were significantly associated with MAFLD risk after adjusting for potential covariates. The results for NAFLD were similar to those for MAFLD, except for arsenic, which was insignificantly associated with NAFLD. In mixture analysis, the overall metal mixture was positively associated with MAFLD, NAFLD, and MAFLD components, including obesity/overweight, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction. In both BKMR and QGC models, thallium, molybdenum, tungsten, and barium mainly contributed to the positive association with MAFLD. Conclusion Our study indicated that exposure to heavy metals, individually or cumulatively, was positively associated with NAFLD, MAFLD, and MAFLD components, including obesity/overweight, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction. Additional research is needed to validate these findings in longitudinal settings.

Project description:Background Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become the most common liver disease globally, yet no new drugs have been approved for clinical treatment. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between dietary intake of soy-derived daidzein and MAFLD, to find potentially effective treatments. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 1,476 participants in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2018 and their associated daidzein intake from the flavonoid database in the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS). We investigated the relationship between MAFLD status, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), AST/Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4), liver stiffness measurement (LSM), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score (NFS), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), fatty liver index (FLI), and daidzein intake by adjusting for confounding variables using binary logistic regression models and linear regression models. Results In the multivariable-adjusted model II, there was a negative association between daidzein intake and the incidence of MAFLD (OR for Q4 versus Q1 was 0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.46–0.91, p = 0.0114, p for trend was 0.0190). CAP was also negatively associated with daidzein intake, β = −0.37, 95% CI: −0.63 to −0.12, p = 0.0046 in model II after adjusting for age, sex, race, marital status, education level, family income-to-poverty ratio (PIR), smoking, and alcohol consumption. Stratified by quartiles of daidzein intake, trend analysis of the relationship between daidzein intake and CAP remained significant (p for trend = 0.0054). In addition, we also found that HSI, FLI, and NFS were negatively correlated with daidzein intake. LSM was negatively related to daidzein intake but had no statistical significance. The correlation between APRI, FIB-4, and daidzein intake was not strong (although p < 0.05, β values were all 0). Conclusion We found that MAFLD prevalence, CAP, HSI, and FLI, all decreased with increased daidzein intake, suggesting that daidzein intake may improve hepatic steatosis. Therefore, dietary patterns of soy food or supplement consumption may be a valuable strategy to reduce the disease burden and the prevalence of MAFLD.
