Fish intake and pre-frailty in Norwegian older adults - a prospective cohort study: the Tromso Study 1994-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pre-frailty is an intermediate, potentially reversible state before the onset of frailty. Healthy dietary choices may prevent pre-frailty. Fish is included in most healthy diets, but little is known about the association between long-term habitual fish intake and pre-frailty. We aimed to elucidate the longitudinal association between the frequency of fish intake and pre-frailty in a cohort of older adults in Norway.

Methods

4350 participants (52% women, ≥65 years at follow-up) were included in this prospective cohort study. Data was obtained from three waves of the population-based Tromsø Study in Norway; Tromsø4 (1994-1995), Tromsø6 (2007-2008) and Tromsø7 (follow-up, 2015-2016). Frailty status at follow-up was defined by a modified version of Fried's phenotype.
