Impact of dietary live microbes and nondietary prebiotic/probiotic intake on osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis development: Stratified findings from NHANES data

Abstract

We selected participants from the NHANES database from 2005 to 2016 for this cross‐sectional analysis. Logistic regression and other analytical methods were utilized to analyze the relationship between the intake of dietary live microbes and nondietary prebiotic/probiotic and the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The findings demonstrated a direct relationship between the consumption of nondietary prebiotic/probiotic and the prevalence of developing OA, whereas a greater consumption of dietary live microbes is associated with a lower occurrence of RA.
