The association between soy consumption and metabolic syndrome in Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study
Higher soy consumption was associated with a lower prevalence of MetS and most of its components, particularly among women. These findings highlight the potential role of soy foods in metabolic health and warrant prospective studies to clarify causal relationships, assess individual soy food types, and explore sex- and menopause-specific effects.
