Plant-based index linked to fall risk in older Chinese adults: cross-sectional evidence from a national cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Epidemiology showed that the falling incidences increased with advanced age, and recent findings found link between nutritional intake and risk of falls. Nevertheless, the relationship between different plant-based diets and the risk of falls in older adults remains unclear. Our investigation aimed to evaluate the correlation between various plant-based diet indices and the occurrence of falls.

Design

This study is a cross-sectional and post-hoc analysis from a national cohort study.

Setting and participants

We included individuals over 65 years from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) recruited in 2018 with information on falls and dietary assessments, finally 11,044 participants were eligible.
