Study reveals the protective role of higher oxidative balance scores on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive adults, suggesting antioxidant importance.
Key Points
Higher oxidative balance scores are linked to significantly lower all-cause mortality rates in hypertensive individuals, emphasizing the potential health benefits of antioxidants.
The top quartile of the oxidative balance score showed a hazard ratio of 0.761 for all-cause mortality and 0.553 for cardiovascular mortality, indicating strong protective effects.
Multivariable Cox regression analysis conducted on 8151 hypertensive participants from NHANES evaluated mortality risks associated with varying oxidative balance scores.
This study suggests that maintaining a higher oxidative balance score may reduce mortality risks associated with hypertension, highlighting a need for further investigation into antioxidant effects.
