Abstract

Purpose

No conclusive information is available about the association between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and risk of mortality. Current meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies was done to summarize available findings on the association between DTAC and risk of death from all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Methods

Online databases were searched to detect relevant publications up to January 2018, using relevant keywords. To pool data, either fixed-effects or random-effects model was used. Furthermore, linear and non-linear dose–response analyses were also done.

Results

In total, five prospective studies were included in the current systematic review and meta-analysis. In a follow-up period of 4.3–16.5 years, there were 38,449 deaths from all-cause, 4470 from cancer and 2841 from CVDs among 226,297 individuals. A significant inverse association was found between DTAC and all-cause mortality (combined effect size: 0.62, 95% CI 0.60–0.64). Such finding was also seen for cancer (combined effect size: 0.81, 95% CI 0.75–0.88) and CVD (combined effect size: 0.71, 95% CI 0.63–0.82) mortality. Findings from linear dose–response meta-analysis revealed that a 5 mmol/day increment in DTAC based on ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) was associated with 7% and 15% lower risk of all-cause mortality, respectively. Based on findings from non-linear dose–response meta-analysis, a significant reduction in risk of all-cause mortality was seen when increasing FRAP from 2 to 12 mmol/day (P-nonlinearity = 0.002) and ORAC from 5 to 11 mmol/day (P-nonlinearity < 0.001).

Conclusions

Adherence to diet with high total antioxidant capacity was associated with decreased risk of death from all-cause, cancer and CVDs.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
