Association between probiotic and yogurt consumption and kidney disease: insights from NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data from experimental animals suggest that probiotic supplements may retard CKD progression. However, the relationship between probiotic use, frequent yogurt consumption (as a natural probiotic source), and kidney parameters have not been evaluated in humans.

Findings

We utilized NHANES data, and analyzed the association of probiotic alone (1999-2012) and yogurt/probiotic (2003-2006) use with albuminuria and eGFR after adjustment for demographic and clinical parameters. Frequent yogurt consumption was defined as thrice or more weekly over the year prior to the interview. Frequent yogurt/probiotic consumers had lower adjusted odds of developing combined outcome (albuminuria and/or eGFR?< 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) compared to infrequent consumers (OR = 0.76; 95 % CI = 0.61-0.94). When evaluated separately, frequent consumers had lower odds of albuminuria and nonsignificant trend towards decreased odds of low eGFR compared to infrequent consumers. In the probiotic cohort, probiotic consumers were found to have a lower adjusted odds of albuminuria compared to nonusers (OR = 0.59; 95 % CI = 0.37-0.94).

Conclusion

Frequent yogurt and/or probiotics use is associated with decreased odds of proteinuric kidney disease. These hypothesis-generating results warrant further translational studies to further delineate the relationship between yogurt/probiotics with kidney dysfunction, as well as microbiome and dysbiosis as potential mediators.

Project description:Human intestinal microbiota are influenced by various factors viz. diet, environment, age, gender, geographical, and socioeconomic situation, etc. among which diet has the most profound impact. However, studies investigating this impact have mostly included subjects from diverse geographic/socioeconomic backgrounds and hence the precise effects of dietary factors on gut microbiota composition remain largely confounded. Herein, with an aim to evaluate the association between dietary habits, specifically yogurt consumption, and the gut microbiota in healthy young adults sharing similar age, lifestyle routine, geographical setting, etc., we conducted a cross-sectional study wherein 293 collegiate freshmen answered a questionnaire about their frequency of yogurt consumption over the last 2 months and provided stool specimens for microbiota analysis. Fecal microbiota were analyzed by highly sensitive reverse-transcription-quantitative-PCR assays targeting bacterial 16S rRNA molecules. Fecal organic acids were measured by HPLC. Overall, the gut microbiota were predominated (97.1 ± 8.6%) by Clostridium coccoides group, Clostridium leptum subgroup, Bacteroides fragilis group, Bifidobacterium and Atopobium cluster. Interestingly, after adjusting the data for yogurt consumption, females were found to have higher total bacterial (P = 0.013) and Bifidobacterium (P = 0.046) count and fecal pH (P = 0.007) and lower fecal concentration of total organic acids (P = 0.030), succinic acid (P = 0.007) and formic acid (P = 0.046) as compared to males. Altogether, yogurt consumption showed positive linear association with Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus gasseri subgroup in both male and female subjects; however, several gender-specific disparities were also detected in this yogurt-microbiota association. Yogurt consumption demonstrated a negative association with L. sakei subgroup, Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus in males but shared a positive association with L. casei subgroup and succinic acid in female subjects. The study manifests the association between yogurt consumption and gut microbiota in a healthy homogeneous cohort and show how this association can differ by host gender. The findings should be helpful for prospective studies investigating the diet-microbiome interaction in human health and disease.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoporosis (OP), affecting millions around the globe, is a prevalent degenerative condition of the bones characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and an increase in bone fragility. A novel anthropometric measure, the Body Roundness Index (BRI), provides a more accurate assessment of body fat distribution compared to traditional metrics. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study aims to explore the relationship between BRI and total BMD in U.S. adults aged 20 and above.MethodsData from NHANES (2011-2018) were examined, encompassing 9,295 participants following exclusions. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was employed to measure BMD. BRI was calculated using waist circumference (WC) and height. The study accounted for variables such as demographic traits, physical exam results, lab test findings, and survey responses. Weighted multivariable linear regression models and smooth curve fitting methods were utilized to assess the relationship between BRI and total BMD.ResultsThe research found a notable inverse relationship between BRI and total BMD. In the model with full adjustments, an increase of one unit in BRI was linked to a 0.0313 g/cm2 reduction in total BMD (P < 0.0001). Moreover, an inflection point was identified at BRI = 9.5229, where each one-unit rise in BRI beyond this threshold corresponded to a more substantial decrease in total BMD (0.0363 g/cm2). Analysis by subgroups revealed that this negative association was consistent across most demographic and health-related categories.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate a notable inverse relationship between BRI and total BMD, indicating that a higher BRI could be associated with lower BMD and a potentially greater risk of developing OP. This underscores the significance of accounting for body fat distribution in preventing OP and advocates for the use of BRI as a valuable marker for early intervention approaches.
