Objective: To explore the relationship between dietary zinc intake and stroke.
Methods: Subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2015 to 2020) were included. Zinc intake was determined using two 24-h dietary recall interviews, and stroke was determined using the Medical Condition Questionnaire (MCQ). Logistic analysis was used to analyze the association between zinc intake and stroke risk. 1:1 nearest neighbor propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce selection bias.
Results: 4705 subjects were included in the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis before and after matching showed that increased zinc intake was associated with a reduced risk of stroke. And as zinc intake increases, the risk of stroke shows a gradually decreasing trend. Compared with the Q1 group, the risk of stroke in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups was reduced by approximately 0.27 times, 0.29 times, and 0.31 times respectively. And there is no interaction between dietary zinc intake and gender in stroke patients.
Conclusion: Dietary zinc intake may be a protective factor against stroke, and increasing its intake may prevent or reduce the symptoms of stroke and related diseases.

Immunosenescence, the slow degradation of immune function over time that is a hallmark and driver of aging, makes older people much more likely to be killed by common infections (such as flu) than young adults, but it also contributes greatly to rates of chronic inflammation in later life. Such micro nutrients are crucial for modulating effective immune responses and their deficiencies have been associated with dysfunctional immunity in the elderly. In this review, we specifically focused on the contribution of major micro nutrients (Vitamins A, D and E, Vitamin C; Zinc and Selenium) as immunomodulators in ageing population especially related to inflame-ageing process including autoimmunity.

A total of 640 one-day-old Cobb 500 MV × Cobb 500 FF mixed broilers were randomly assigned to one of four experimental treatments with four replicates per treatment and 40 birds per replicate for 32 days. The treatments consisted of a basal diet (control group), basal diet + 0.02% zinc bacitracin (AGP group), basal diet + 0.

Objective: To describe the dietary diversity and micronutrients adequacy among women of reproductive age during 2015-2017 in China.
Methods: Data was from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2015-2017. Stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used, and 17622 women aged 15-49 years from 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities) were involved.

Objective: To understand the dietary iron, zinc, selenium, and copper intake and food sources of residents aged 18 years and above in 10 provinces(autonomous regions) of China.
Methods: Using the data of China Development and Nutrition Health Impact Cohort Survey from 2022 to 2023, 9981 residents aged 18 and above with complete three consecutive days with 24 h dietary recalls were selected as the research subjects. The intake status and food sources of dietary iron, zinc, selenium, and copper were analyzed and compared with the estimated average requirement(EAR) of iron, zinc, selenium and copper for Chinese residents.

Zinc is an essential trace element in the human body, playing a crucial role in cellular metabolism.Dysregulation of zinc homeostasis can lead to abnormal cellular metabolism, contributing to diseases and closely related to tumor development. Adequate zinc intake can maintain zinc homeostasis in the body and support normal cellular metabolism.
