Association between composite dietary antioxidant index and epilepsy in American population: a cross-sectional study from NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Epilepsy is a major global health challenge, affecting approximately 50 million people across the globe and resulting in significant economic impacts on individuals and society. Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of epilepsy, highlighting the potential of antioxidant-rich dietary patterns in offering preventive and protective benefits by mitigating oxidative stress. The Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) provides a measure for assessing dietary antioxidant intake, yet its link to epilepsy remains unexplored.

Methods

Our analysis utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2013 to 2018, including 20,180 screened participants. Weighted logistic regression models were employed to examine the associ
