Background and objectives: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations between salty food preference and osteoporosis (OP) in general Chinese men.
Methods and study design: We conducted a largescale, community-based, cross-sectional study to estimate the associations by using self-report questionnaire to evaluate the salty food preference. The total of 1,092 men was available to data analysis in this study. Multiple regression models controlling for confounding factors to include salty food preference variables were employed to explore the relationships for OP.
Results: We found negative correlations between preference for salty food and T-score (p=0.006). Multiple regression analysis showed that the preference for salty food was significantly positively associated with OP (p<0.05 for all). The men with preference for salty food habits had a higher prevalence of OP.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that salty food preference was independently and significantly associated with OP. The prevalence of OP was more frequent in Chinese men preferring salty food habits.
背景与目的：评估中国男性饮食咸淡嗜好和骨质疏松症（OP）之间的关联。方 法与研究设计：我们以社区自然人群为基础进行了大规模的横断面调查，采用 问卷调查的方法评估饮食咸淡嗜好与OP 的关联性，对1092 名成年男性的相关 资料进行了数据分析，通过多元回归模型控制混杂因素，其中咸淡的饮食嗜好 变量被用来探索与OP 的关系。结果：偏咸的饮食嗜好和骨密度检验T 值之间 呈显著负相关（p=0.006）。多元回归分析表明，偏咸的饮食嗜好与OP 显著正 相关（p<0.05）。偏咸饮食男性OP 的患病率较高。结论：研究结果表明：偏 咸饮食与OP 显著正相关。.
