Association between non-high-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and bowel health in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study

The study findings provide novel evidence of the relationship between NHHR and bowel health in United States women, particularly chronic constipation. However, the cross-sectional design of the study limits our ability to establish causality. Additionally, reliance on self-reported bowel health data may introduce inaccuracies. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying this association and the impact of lifestyle factors.
