Antioxidant Diets and Lifestyles Could Mitigate the Risk of Sarcopenia with Low Muscle Mass in Women: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Sarcopenia is characterized by a loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. At present, there are no effective methods available for prevention or treatment. Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) has been shown to be significantly correlated with a decreased risk of sarcopenia. Nevertheless, gender-specific studies still exhibit certain limitations. Methods: Individuals who completed dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the diet and lifestyle questionnaires from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled. OBSs were calculated according to dietary or lifestyle variables and physical activity. Sarcopenia with low muscle mass (SLM) was identified based on the ratio of appendicular skeletal muscle mass to body mass index. A logistic regression analys
