Examining the relationship between CDAI and frailty and its manifestation in Parkinson's disease: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Higher intake of antioxidants is associated with reduced risk of various chronic diseases. However, the relationship between composite dietary antioxidants and frailty has not been characterized, especially in neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's disease (PD) where frailty is highly prevalent. This study aimed to investigate the association between composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI), a composite score reflecting antioxidant vitamin and mineral intakes, and frailty risk in the general United States (US) population and PD patients.

Methods

Data from 21,354 participants ≥40 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018 represented the general population sample, while 268 PD patients were analyzed separately. Frailty
