Figures & data
Figure 1. Dietary fiber intake and general health. To explore the possible relationship between self-reported health status and fiber intake, a two-tailed nonparametric Spearman’s correlation was applied. Significant positive correlations were found for the total population (p = 0.0001) and for men (p = 0.0001). No significant correlation was found between daily intake of fibers and general health in women.
Figure 2. Dietary fiber intake and perceived immune functioning. To investigate the potential association between dietary fiber intake and perceived immune functioning, a two-tailed nonparametric Spearman’s correlation was used. Positive correlations were found for the total study population (p = 0.008) and for men (p = 0.002). There was no significant relationship between dietary fiber intake and perceived immune rate in women.
