The association between dietary intake of flavonoids and its subclasses and the risk of metabolic syndrome

Background The healthiest way to prevent metabolic syndrome (MetS) is through behavioral and nutritional adjustments. We examined the relationship between total flavonoids intake, flavonoid subclasses, clinically manifest MetS. Methods A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among 28,719 individuals from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Food Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) 2007–2011 2017–2018. Two 24-h reviews were determine intake subclasses. link MetS investigated using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results Q2 Q3 of associated with 20 19% lower risk incident after adjusting age sex. Anthocyanidins flavanones in substantially reduced compared Q1. decreased steadily as increased 237.67 mg/d. Flavanones anthocyanidins also displayed V-shaped curves (34.37 23.13 mg/d). Conclusion adversely linked flavanones, anthocyanidins. Moreover, most effective doses flavonoids, 237.67, 34.37, mg/d, respectively, potentially preventing
