Wang Y, Xie D, Li J, et al. - In the general middle-aged and older population (n = 6,267; mean age was 52.2 ± 7.4 years) in China, researchers used multivariable logistic regression to explore the relationship between dietary selenium (Se) intake and the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP). This investigation was conducted at the Xiangya Hospital Health Management Centre. Using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, dietary Se intake was assessed. Data reported that OP prevalence among the included individuals was 9.6% (2.3% in men and 19.7% in women). Adjustment for additional potential confounders (ie, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity level, nutritional supplements, diabetes, hypertension, fibre intake, and calcium intake) did not result in significant changes to the findings. The authors discovered that candidates with lower levels of dietary Se intake have a higher prevalence of OP in a dose-response manner in the middle-aged and older humans.
