Lower dietary folate intake increases the risk of autoimmune thyroiditis
This cross-sectional study is the first to explore the association between dietary folate consumption and the likelihood of developing AIT. The results suggest that lower dietary folate intake may be an independent factor contributing to AIT. It may provide new insights for the development of future dietary prevention strategies for AIT.
