The aorta is the body's main artery, which arises from the heart to deliver oxygenated blood to the body through branching arteries. Calcification of the aorta occurs in atherosclerosis, the cause of cardiovascular disease. The study included 2,640 men and women aged 40 and older. Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) scores, which were based on the intake of vitamins A, C, and E, carotenoids, selenium and zinc, were determined from questionnaire responses from NHANES participants, who were evaluated according to low, middle or high scores.   Higher Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index scores were associated with reduced abdominal aortic calcification. There was also an association revealed between high Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index scores and a low risk of severe calcification. Individuals with high Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index scores had a 64.8% lower adjusted risk of severe abdominal aortic calcification compared with those who were among the low scoring group.
