Association between the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index and periodontitis in US adults: a cross-sectional analysis

Adequate intake of foods loaded with antioxidants may help combat the development of periodontitis in men and women.

​This study was carried out to confirm the protective effect of high antioxidant diet against periodontitis. The study population included 7,471 US adults who took part in the 2009-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). 

Researchers observed that participants who consumed the highest amounts of antioxidant-containing foods had the lowest risk of developing periodontitis. Evidence from this study showed that the odds of evading periodontitis may favor generous consumers of antioxidant-rich foods.
