    TLDR A high dietary antioxidant index may lower the risk of various diseases, but more research is needed.
    The review explores the dietary antioxidant index (DAI) as a tool for assessing disease risk, highlighting its potential in preventing various conditions. A high DAI score is linked to reduced risk of obesity-related diseases like diabetes, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia, and MASLD. It also shows a negative association with infections such as <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> and Human papillomavirus, lowering the risk of gastric and cervical cancers. Additionally, high antioxidant intake may prevent osteoporosis, miscarriage, infertility, and mental illnesses. Despite these findings, further research and clinical trials are needed to confirm DAI's effectiveness in disease prevention.
