Prospective cohort study reveals oxidative balance score's impact on mortality in adults, indicating potential health implications.
Key Points
A robust negative correlation exists between oxidative balance score and mortality from all causes and specific diseases.
Individuals in the highest quartile of oxidative balance score had a multi-adjusted hazard ratio of 0.66 for all-cause mortality over an average of 10.3 years.
Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the relationship between oxidative balance score and various mortality outcomes, including cancer and respiratory disease.
The findings suggest enhancing antioxidant dietary and lifestyle practices could improve health outcomes among adults.
