- Study investigates the association between Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) and depressive symptoms in adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS) using NHANES data (2007-2018).
- Higher OBS is consistently associated with reduced odds of depressive symptoms in adults with MetS across various models.
- Machine learning models, particularly Random Forest, showed strong performance with an AUC of 0.914.
- SHAP analysis identified educational level, marital status, and gender as top predictors of depressive symptoms.
- Findings highlight the significant role of socioeconomic factors in the association between OBS and depressive symptoms in MetS patients.
