BACKGROUND: The beneficial effects of dietary vitamin C intake on human health have received widespread attention from the population. However, the correlation between vitamin C intake and abdominal aortic calcification remains unclear. The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary vitamin C intake and AAC in US adults.

METHODS: Our data for this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014, and participants had complete data on dietary vitamin C intake and AAC scores. We used weighted multivariate linear regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses to explore the independent relationship between vitamin C intake and AAC scores, along with subgroup analyses and restricted cubic splines.

RESULTS: A total of 2876 participants were enrolled in this study, with a mean AAC score of 1.47 ± 0.14 and a prevalence of severe AAC of 8.12%. We observed a 0.5 unit decrease in AAC scores in participants in the highest quartile compared to those in the lowest quartile of VitC intake. In contrast, there was no significant correlation between VitC intake and risk of severe AAC. Besides, subgroup analysis and interaction tests showed that there was no dependence of the association between VitC intake and AAC.

CONCLUSION: Dietary VitC intake was associated with reduced AAC scores, but there was no significant correlation between dietary VitC intake and risk of severe AAC.
