摘要

Background

Carotenoids have been shown to have multiple health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The data for the effect of dietary specific carotenoids on biological aging is limited. Our study aims to examine the association between dietary carotenoid intake levels and biological aging.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was performed among 27,338 adults from NHANES 1999–2018. Dietary intake was assessed through two 24-hour dietary recall interviews. Biological aging indices included allostatic load (AL), homeostatic dysregulation (HD), Klemera-Doubal method (KDM), and phenoAge (PA). Multiple linear regression, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression and quantile g-computation (QG-comp) were used to explore the associations of single carotenoid and mixed carotenoids with biological aging.

Results

Associations between dietary carotenoid intake levels and biological aging indices were significant among adults across the United States. Multiple linear regression showed that most carotenoids were significantly negatively correlated with AL (β = -0.017 - -0.011), HD (β = -0.045 - -0.032), KDM (β = -0.984 - -0.471), and PA (β = -0.975 - -0.539). Subgroup analysis indicated that male, older individuals, smokers, alcohol drinkers, and less physically active individuals are particularly sensitive populations. Meanwhile, WQS regression and QG-comp analyses consistently indicated a negative association between mixed carotenoids exposure and four biological aging indices, highlighting that lutein/zeaxanthin and β-carotene were responsible for the outcomes.

Conclusions

Increased dietary intakes of various carotenoids were associated with lower biological aging indices, which was possibly and mainly driven by lutein/zeaxanthin and β-carotene.
