Impact of the dietary antioxidant index on bone mineral density gain among mexican adults: a prospective study

Consuming diets low in antioxidant-rich foods may lead to fragile bones and high osteoporosis risk in men and women.

This study looked at the effect of a high antioxidant diet on bone mineral density. Researchers measured the bone density of 1,318 Mexican men and women whose nutritional habits were assessed with dietary questionnaires. 

Researchers associated weaker bones and increased risk of osteoporosis with low intake of antioxidants from food sources. The take-away from this study is that insufficient consumption of antioxidant-containing foods may reduce bone mineral density and raised osteoporosis odds in men and women.
