Frailty is a pervasive condition among older people worldwide. Despite the association between higher protein intake and lower frailty risk has been well documented, individuals encounter barriers to enhancing their consumption due reduced appetite impaired digestive capacity. This study aims delve into potential correlation dietary diversity, patterns, of Chinese individuals. Prospective cohort study. Community-based. 2,216 participants aged 65 above not frail at baseline were recruited from Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) dataset spanning 2014 2018. Dietary diversity was evaluated utilizing score (PDS), calculated based on results food frequency questionnaire. patterns identified by employing principal component analysis (PCA). ascertained using 40-item index (FI) where FI > 0.21 indicated frailty.

While many studies have described the association between cognitive decline and eating habits, little attention has been paid to its with cheese intake. In this epidemiological study of 1035 community-dwelling women aged ≥ 65, we investigated intake/type function. The anthropometry, functional ability, frequency food intake, including cheese, were assessed. mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was used assess function, a score 20–26 operationally defined as mild decline.

Background: High dietary diversity has been found to be associated with frailty. However, the trajectory of intake in relation frailty is unclear. Methods: Using latent class modeling approach, we identified distinctive variety groups among 2017 participants based on Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey acquired at four time points within a 10-year period. Frailty status was assessed using index comprising 37 health deficits. Dietary quantified score (DVS), food category consumption frequency. Logistic regression analyses were employed explore association between DVS change trajectories and Results: This study two distinct trajectories: “Moderate-Slow decline-Slow growth”, encompassing 810 (40.16%) individuals, growth-Accelerated decline”, including 1207 (59.84%) individuals.

Dietary variety is associated with some health outcomes among older adults. Rural areas, however, often have difficulty accessing information that influences dietary variety. This study aimed to identify patterns of sources by using latent class analysis and assess their association adults aged ≥ 75 in rural Japan (n = 411). Three were identified: multi-sources (29.7%), television-only (53.5%), non-sources (16.8%). In the pattern, more people used television, radio, newspapers. The pattern had mostly television users, fewer other sources. many reporting “none.” Logistic regression revealed has a significant positive effect on compared (odds ratio: 5.434, 95% confidence interval: 1.792–16.472), even after adjusting for socioeconomic factors physical status.
