Summary: This study aimed to determine whether added sugar is associated with kidney stones. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey datasets from 2007 to 2018 were analyzed, and it was found that a higher percentage of energy intake from added sugars is significantly associated with a higher prevalence of kidney stones. This study provides cross-sectional evidence for the relationship between added sugars and health outcomes.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between serum triglycerides and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels using the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. The results show an independent and negative correlation between serum triglycerides and PSA levels among American males. This correlation may contribute to difficulties in detecting asymptomatic prostate cancer and diagnosing it at advanced stages due to detection bias.

Summary: This study explored the association between dietary flavonoid intake and the prevalence of diabetes, and found an inverse correlation between total flavonoid intake and diabetes prevalence, with some associations varying by race. Additionally, a non-linear U-shaped relationship was observed between total flavonoid intake and diabetes prevalence. Overall, this study provides preliminary evidence for personalized dietary improvements to reduce the prevalence of diabetes.
