Associations of comprehensive dietary antioxidant index with postmenopausal femur bone mineral density and osteoporosis: data from the national health and nutrition examination survey

The present study indicated that postmenopausal women with higher CDAI scores have a lower risk of osteoporosis. In addition, there is a non-linear relationship between CDAI and the risk of osteoporosis. This finding suggests that the adoption of a comprehensive antioxidant dietary structure represented by high CDAI scores may have a positive impact on the prevention and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Particularly for those with lower CDAI scores, early screening and intervention for osteoporosis may be necessary.
