![]() ![]() Overall, vegetarian diet was associated with 16% lower hazards (hazard ratio : 0.84, 95% confidence interval : 0.71–0.99). Cox regression was used to evaluate the prospective association between a vegetarian diet on risk of UTI while adjusting for age, sex, educational level, alcohol-drinking, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and disease conditions predisposing to UTIs. Diet was assessed through a food frequency questionnaire. During the 10-year follow-up, 661 incident UTI cases were confirmed. We prospectively followed 9724 Buddhists free of UTI from 2005 to 2014. Our aim was to examine the association between vegetarian diet and UTI risk in a Taiwanese Buddhist population.

Further analysis found the meat including poultry and pork is the major reservoir for ExPECs. coli (ExPEC), were distinct from the intestinal pathogenic strains and normal commensal strains. coli causing UTIs, called extra-intestinal pathogenic E. ![]() ![]() Recent studies found that the strains of E.
