Zusammenfassung:Summary Background & aims There are limited studies of nutrient intake and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Some studies have not accounted for the functional consequences of PAD, potentially leading to biased results. To determine the associations between intakes of dietary fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E, and B6 and PAD. Methods Cross-sectional analysis of 6534 adults aged 40 years and older in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2004, including measurement of ankle-brachial index (ABI) and nutrient intake by 24-h dietary recall. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models to determine odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results The prevalence of PAD (ABI
