• The researchers' findings appear in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
• Eighty-eight subjects developed arthritis during follow-up and they were matched to 176 healthy comparison subjects.
• Average daily intakes of the carotenoids beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin were 40 and 20 percent lower, respectively, for arthritis patients compared with healthy subjects.
• By contrast, consumption of two other well-known carotenoids, lutein and lycopene, did not seem to protect against arthritis.
• Further analysis showed that subjects with the highest beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin intake were about half as likely to develop inflammatory polyarthritis than those with the lowest intake.
• "These data add to a growing body of evidence that some dietary antioxidants, such as the carotenoids beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin as well as vitamin C, may be protective against the development of" arthritis, the authors conclude.
