Key Findings
- A study by Zabol University of Medical Sciences found that a diet rich in antioxidants may reduce the risk of knee osteoarthritis (KOA)
- Individuals with the highest dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) scores had 71% lower odds of having KOA compared to those with the lowest scores
- Increasing the intake of antioxidant-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains could be a viable strategy for reducing KOA risk
