Effect of soy isoflavones on allergic diseases in cross-sectional study

我们对居住在日本德岛县的1076名男性和384名女性（年龄20-63岁）进行了横断面研究。我们通过问卷调查获得了有关生活方式和过敏病史的信息。高剂量异黄酮组的蔬菜和鱼类摄入量高于低剂量异黄酮组。相比之下，服用高剂量异黄酮的一组的肉类和零食消费量低于服用低剂量异黄酮的一组。采用多元logistic回归模型分析饮食模式与各种过敏性疾病的关系。摄入异黄酮可以降低患过敏性疾病的风险。

We conducted a cross-sectional study on 1,076 men and 384 women (aged 20-63 years), who were living in Tokushima prefecture, Japan. We obtained information on life style and self-reported history of allergic diseases using a questionnaire. Consumption of vegetable and fish in a group that take high-dose isoflavone were higher than that in a group that take low-dose isoflavones. In contrast, consumption of meat and snack in a group that take high-dose isoflavonse were lower than that in a group that take low-dose isoflavones. Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between dietary patterns and each allergic diseases. Intake of isoflavones tended to decrease the risk of allergic diseases.
