Understanding the interaction between dietary patterns and nutritional status in influencing health outcomes is crucial, especially vulnerable populations. Our study investigates impact of adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) on inflammatory markers (CRP) length stay (LOS) hospitalized frail elderly patients. Methods: We conducted two-way ANOVA multiple regression analysis evaluate effects MD CRP levels LOS a cohort 117 patients aged 65 years or older. Patients with cancer acute infection were excluded. Adherence was assessed using 14-item PREDIMED questionnaire. Results: Significant interactions found for both LOS. The low-level poor exhibited higher longer hospital stays compared those high adherence. Specifically, statistically significant observed (F (1, 113) = 7.36, p 0.008) 15.4, < 0.001), indicating protective effect high-level Moderation confirmed that mitigates adverse malnutrition response Conclusions: These findings highlight importance promoting MD, particularly malnourished patients, improve reduce hospitalization duration. Further longitudinal studies are warranted establish causality explore underlying mechanisms.
