Associations of dietary oxidative balance score with sarcopenia in adults: an NHANES-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenia, a prevalent muscle disorder in the older adults, is characterized by accelerated loss of muscle mass and function, contributing to increased risks of falls, functional decline, and mortality. The relationship between dietary oxidative balance score (DOBS) and sarcopenia, however, remains unclear.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 cohort, which included 8,240 participants, aged 47.2 ± 17.6 years (48.6% male, 51.4% female). The participants were selected from geographic locations across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, using a stratified, multistage probability sampling design to collect health and nutritional data representative of the civilian, non-ins
