The inverse associations between composite-dietary-antioxidant-index and sarcopenia risk in US adults
Elevated consumption of foods high in antioxidants may help lessen the risk of sarcopenia in men and women.
Sarcopenia is a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength associated with aging and immobility. This study evaluated the link between the intake of antioxidants from food sources and the likelihood that sarcopenia will occur in an individual. Researchers tracked the diets of 10,093 US men and women whose muscle mass and strength were assessed regularly during the course of the study.
Researchers discovered that sarcopenia was less likely to affect individuals who consistently ate generous portions of antioxidant-containing foods. This study demonstrated that high dietary ingestion of antioxidants may help curb the onset of sarcopenia in men and women.
