Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Dietary antioxidants are thought to prevent smoke-induced oxidative damage. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between lung function and the consumption of antioxidant vitamins in Korean adults.

METHODS: In total, 21 148 participants from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2014) were divided into four groups based on smoking history and gender. Multivariate regression models were used to evaluate associations between lung function and intake of dietary antioxidants.

RESULTS: Subjects in the highest intake quintile (Q5) of vitamin A, carotene and vitamin C intake had mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) measurements that were 30 mL, 32 mL and 36 mL higher than those of individuals in the lowest intake quintile (Q1), respectively (p for trend; p=0.008, p=0.010 and p<0.001, respectively). The risks of COPD for male smokers in Q1 increased 7.60-fold (95% CI 5.92 to 9.76), 7.16-fold (95% CI 5.58 to 9.19) and 7.79-fold (95% CI 6.12 to 9.92), for vitamin A, carotene and vitamin C, respectively, compared with those of female non-smokers in Q5. Among patients with COPD, men who smoked >20 pack-years had mean FEV1 measurements that were 192 mL, 149 mL and 177 mL higher than those of patients in Q1 (p for trend; p=0.018, p=0.024 and p=0.043, for vitamin A, carotene and vitamin C, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that the influence of antioxidant vitamins on lung function depends on gender and smoking status in the Korean COPD population.
