A higher Oxidative Balance Score (highest vs lowest tertile) was associated with reduced odds of depressive symptoms (OR 0.77) in U.S. adults with metabolic syndrome.
Cross-Sectional (n=6,244)
Is a higher Oxidative Balance Score associated with reduced odds of depressive symptoms in U.S. adults with metabolic syndrome?
A higher Oxidative Balance Score, reflecting an antioxidant-rich diet and lifestyle, is associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms in adults with metabolic syndrome.
Effect estimate: OR 0.77 (95% CI 0.65-0.92)
p-value: p=0.005

You et al. (Sat,) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome and depressive symptoms (n=6,244). Higher Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) vs. Lowest OBS tertile (Tertile 1) was evaluated on Odds of depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 score >= 10) (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.65-0.92, p=0.005). A higher Oxidative Balance Score (highest vs lowest tertile) was associated with reduced odds of depressive symptoms (OR 0.77) in U.S. adults with metabolic syndrome.
