The Inverse Association Between Isoflavone Intake and Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global disease burden that has resulted in 10 million people being affected by it, yet no new drugs have been approved for clinical treatment. Isoflavone may be able to stop the development of MetS or enhance its treatment. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between dietary intake of isoflavone and prevalence of MetS to find potentially effective treatments.
