Oxidative balance score is inversely associated with low muscle mass in young and middle-aged adults: a cross-sectional NHANES study
Higher OBS, indicative of greater antioxidant exposure, was robustly associated with a lower risk of low muscle mass, particularly in 40-59 old adults. These findings underscore the potential role of oxidative balance in preserving muscle health and highlight the need for targeted interventions in this demographic. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm these associations and evaluate potential clinical applications.
