Dietary and lifestyle oxidative balance scores and their impact on cardiovascular diseases: exploring the mediating influence of hepatic function and blood lipid levels

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundLimited evidence exists regarding the association between oxidative stress induced by dietary and lifestyle factors and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).MethodsWe conducted a weighted analysis using data from 13,530 adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), covering the period from 2003 to 2018. The total oxidative balance score (OBS) was derived from 20 oxidative stress-related exposures, including dietary and lifestyle factors.
