- The study examines the link between the dietary index for gut microbiota (DI-GM) and osteoporosis in U.S. adults.
- Higher DI-GM scores are associated with a 10% reduced risk of osteoporosis per unit increase.
- Key beneficial dietary components include soy and fermented dairy, while processed meat increases osteoporosis risk.
- A prediction model incorporating dietary and clinical factors showed good discrimination (AUC = 0.757).
- The findings suggest that dietary interventions targeting gut microbiota could help prevent osteoporosis.
