Correlation of alternative healthy eating index with risk of frailty among metabolic syndrome individuals: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mounting evidence identifies diet quality as a frailty modifying factor. Individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome (MetS) are more likely to be affected by frailty. Therefore, our research sought to explore the relationship of Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) with frailty risk among patients with MetS.

Methods

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2005 to 2018 were gathered. Frailty Index (FI) was utilized for assessment of frailty status. Weighted multivariate logistic regression model was adopted for investigating the association of AHEI with frailty among patients with MetS. Subgroup analysis, interaction test and restricted cubic spline (RCS) test were also performed in this study.
