Oxidative balance score is associated with increased risk of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in non-elderly adults: results from NHANES 2011-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenia and obesity, two prevalent health conditions, often coexist and exacerbate each other's impact, increasing the risk of chronic diseases and mortality. This dual condition is termed "sarcopenic obesity." The correlation between oxidative stress (OS) and sarcopenia or obesity was established, and the oxidative balance score (OBS) can serve as an indicator of overall dietary or lifestyle-related OS exposure within an individual. Prior reports have not addressed the relationship between OBS and sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity in adults under 60. This study endeavors to explore these associations and to identify potential dietary and lifestyle risk factors.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional analysis utilizing data from 4,241 participants in the Nationa
