Diet-lifestyle oxidative balance in relation to cardiometabolic multimorbidity: findings from the national health and nutrition examination survey.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development of cardiometabolic diseases. The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), integrating dietary and lifestyle factors, has been proposed as a measure of the balance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants. This study aims to explore the relationship between OBS and prevalent cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), and to evaluate whether adding OBS into clinical practice is associated with better CMM identification in the general population. A total of 26,191 participants were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. CMM was defined as having a history of two or more conditions: diabetes mellitus, stroke, or coronary heart disease. The prevalence of CMM was 2.95%.
