Objective: Although many studies paid attention to the connection between dietary iron and incidence of malignant tumor. Few studies elucidated the roles dietary iron played in all-caused or cancer-caused mortality. It is paradoxical about how total dietary iron influences all-cause/cancer-cause mortality.
Methods: Our study collected dietary iron and survival data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2020. Multivariate cox proportional risk models and subgroup analysis were used to assess the relationship between dietary iron and all/cancer-caused death. Restricted Cubic Samples (RCS) were used to access the non-linear relationship between them.
Results: Dietary iron was a protective factor against all-cause mortality (p for trend=0.004), as well as cancer-caused mortality (p.. View More»
