Abstract

Adequate intake of flavonoids may influence mortality, particularly of heart and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the importance of each flavonoid and its subclasses in preventing all-cause and disease-specific mortalities remain unclear. In addition, it is unknown which population groups would benefit from high flavonoid intake. Therefore, personalized mortality risk based on flavonoid intake needs to be estimated. The association between flavonoid intake and mortality among 14,029 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was examined using Cox proportional hazards analysis. A prognostic risk score and nomogram linking flavonoid intake and mortality were constructed. During a median follow-up of 117 months (9.75 years), 1,603 incident deaths were confirmed. Total flavonol intake was associated with a significantly reduced all-cause mortality [multivariable adjusted hazard ratio [HR] (95% confidence interval [CI]), 0.87 (0.81, 0.94), p for trend <0.001], especially in participants aged 50 years and older and former smokers. Similarly, total anthocyanidin intake was inversely associated with all-cause mortality [0.91 (0.84, 0.99), p for trend = 0.03], which was most significant in non-alcoholics. The intake of isoflavones was negatively associated with all-cause mortality [0.81 (0.70, 0.94), p = 0.01]. Moreover, a risk score was constructed based on survival-related flavonoid intake. The constructed nomogram accurately predicted the all-cause mortality of individuals based on flavonoid intake. Taken together, our results can be used to improve personalized nutrition.
