Dietary total antioxidant capacity is associated with lower disease severity and inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Table 4 Results of multiple linear regression analyses that evaluated the association between dietary TAC with inflammatory markers and matrix metalloproteinases (n = 160)^a

TAC, total antioxidant capacity; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-6, interleukin-6; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; NF-κB p65, nuclear factor-kappa B (p65); MMP-1, matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-3, matrix metalloproteinase-3; MMP-13, matrix metalloproteinase-13; B, unstandardized coefficient; and S.E., standard error
^aAdjusted for age (continuous), sex (male/ female), BMI (kg/m²), disease duration (continuous), energy intake (kcal/d), vitamin D and calcium supplement use (yes/ no), physical activity level (continuous), and cigarette smoking (smoker/nonsmoker)
P < 0.05 was considered significant
