Description

Kai Wang and co-authors link a diet and lifestyle score to belly fat in a study published in 2023. The score, called the oxidative balance score, rises with habits and foods thought to protect cells. The team asked whether higher scores go with less fat around the abdomen and organs in younger adults.

The data came from a national United States health survey from 2011 to 2018, covering 8,734 adults who stand for a much larger group. Adults in the highest score group had far lower odds of high belly fat than those in the lowest group. The same pattern held for fat around the organs, and for both the diet and lifestyle parts of the score. The authors see the score as a useful guide for weight-related health.
