Oxidative balance and heart failure risk in older adults: Findings from NHANES 2005-2018

AI simplified

Abstract

The prevalence of heart failure (HF) in a cohort of 6238 older adults was 5.55%.

  • Higher Oxidative Balance Scores (OBS) are associated with lower odds of HF.
  • Adjusted odds ratios for HF were 0.57 for the highest quintile of OBS and 0.21 for lifestyle OBS compared to the lowest quintile.
  • The negative association between OBS and HF prevalence was stable across various models and subgroups.
  • A potential inflection point in the relationship between OBS and HF prevalence was identified.
  • Correlation analysis showed a consistent relationship between OBS and serum γ-glutamyltransferase levels.
