AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the link between the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), which assesses a person's antioxidant status, and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in adults aged 40 and older.
- - Using data from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, researchers found that of 2,520 participants, a significant portion (28.13%) had AAC, and higher OBS was associated with lower prevalence of AAC.
- - The results suggest that maintaining a higher OBS could help reduce the risk of AAC, indicating potential benefits for antioxidant-rich diets or lifestyles in older adults.
Article Abstract
Background: The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) was created to evaluate an individual's overall antioxidant status. The objective of this study was to examine the association between OBS and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) among individuals aged ≥ 40 years.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2013-2014 and included adults aged ≥ 40 years. Survey-weighted multivariable logistic and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess the association between OBS and AAC.
Results: Among 2520 participants, 744 were diagnosed with AAC (weighted percentage, 28.13%). Survey-weighted multivariable logistic revealed an inverse association between OBS and AAC [0.98 (0.96, 1.00)], and the nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests revealed that this inverse relationship was consistent across different populations (all P for interaction > 0.05).
Conclusions: OBS was inversely associated with the prevalence of AAC among individuals aged ≥ 40 years. Maintaining a higher OBS may be beneficial in reducing the burden of AAC.
