The association between oxidative balance score and muscular dystrophies.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This research utilized data from the NHANES 2011-2018 study to investigate the connection between the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) and muscular dystrophies.

Methods

This study is a cross-sectional, observational, secondary analysis utilizing data from the NHANES 2011-2018. Spearman's correlation, chi-square tests, logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline plots were employed for statistical analyses.

Results

This association remained significant after adjustment for various demographic and medical history factors (For continuous OBS: crude model, odds ratio [OR], 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI:] 0.94, 0.97, p < 0.001; Model 1, OR, 0.94, 95% CI: 0.92, 0.96, p < 0.001; Model 2, OR, 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93, 0.97, p < 0.001; Model 3
