Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity

While traditionally diet quality index scores (DQIS) as noted later in this abstract have been used to predict health outcomes, dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC), a useful tool for assessing total antioxidant power in the diet, may also be a novel predictor. This study evaluated the associations between dietary TAC and DQIS and all-cause mortality. Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1988–1994 and 1999–2006, 23,797 US adults were followed-up until 2015. Dietary TAC and DQIS including the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED), and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) were calculated using a 1-day 24 h dietary recall. US adults in the highest quintiles of DQIS had lower rates of all-cause mortality compared to those in the lowest quintiles (HEI-2015 hazard ratio (HR): 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.77–0.98; AHEI-2010 HR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.74–0.94; aMED HR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.69–0.90; DASH HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.70–0.92). Similarly, those in the highest quintile of dietary TAC also had a lower all-cause mortality than those in the lowest quintile (HR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79–0.98). These findings suggest that dietary TAC might be a relatively valid predictor of all-cause mortality in the US population compared to the DQIS.

Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity

Abstract Objectives Dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is a useful tool for assessing total antioxidant power in the diet, and high dietary TAC has been reported to be associated with lower oxidative stress and risk of chronic diseases. While traditionally diet quality index scores (DQIS) have been used to predict health outcomes, dietary TAC may also be a novel and valid predictor. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the associations between both dietary TAC and DQIS and all-cause mortality. Methods Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (1998–1994) and 1999–2006, a total of 23,797 adults aged 30 years or older who were followed-up until 2015 were included. Dietary TAC and DQIS including the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), Alternative Health Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED), and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) were calculated using a 1-day 24-h dietary recall. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause mortality by quintiles of dietary TAC and DQIS were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. Results Dietary TAC and DQIS similarly differed by sociodemographic characteristics including age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, and income and lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity and smoking among US adults (P < 0.0001 for all). After adjusting for confounders, US adults in the highest quintiles of DQIS had lower rates of all-cause mortality compared to those in the lowest quintiles (HEI-2015 HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.76–0.97; AHEI-2010 HR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.73–0.93; aMED HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.68–0.89; DASH HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.69–0.89). Similarly, those in the highest quintile of dietary TAC also had a lower rate of all-cause mortality than those in the lowest quintile (HR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.79–0.99). Conclusions These findings indicate that both DQIS and dietary TAC were inversely associated with all-cause mortality and that dietary TAC predicts overall mortality in US adults. Further studies should expand this investigation to assess disease-specific mortality among subpopulations defined by gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the association of dietary total antioxidant capacity with anthropometric, functional, and biochemical parameters in chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of hemodialysis patients in Western Bahia. A structured questionnaire, three 24-hour dietary recalls, anthropometric measurements and clinical and biochemical records were used for data collection. Dietary total antioxidant capacity was estimated using 24-hour dietary recalls data. A database of ferric reducing antioxidant power values for foods was used to evaluate the dietary total antioxidant capacity. Multiple linear regression was applied to assess the relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity and anthropometric, functional, and biochemical parameters. Results A total of 97 patients were evaluated, of which 57.7% were men and 57.7% were aged between 36 and 59 years. After adjusting for gender, education level, and socioeconomic level, inverse associations were found between dietary total antioxidant capacity and body mass index (p=0.008). Handgrip strength (p=0.037) and serum albumin concentration (p=0.047) were positively associated with dietary total antioxidant capacity. Conclusion High dietary total antioxidant capacity is associated with low body mass index, high handgrip strength, and high serum albumin concentration in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.
