The association between Dietary Inflammatory and Antioxidant Indices with bone health status in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and healthy ones

Abstract

postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and healthy women. Also there was no relationship between the risk of osteoporosis/osteopenia and DTAC. There was a positive relationship between DTAC and BMD in the femur in the crude model. Women in tertile 3 of DTAC (highest antioxidant capacity) had higher BMD in the femur in the crude model compared to women in tertile 1 (lowest DTAC) (OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.95, 0.28, p-trend=0.03). The intake of antioxidants such as vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin C, zinc and selenium in T3 was higher than T1. Conclusion: Our study indicated that more pro-inflammatory diets might be associated with risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. And the diet containing antioxidants plays an important role in the protection of osteoporosis.
