Association between dairy products intake and frailty transitions in older adults: The InCHIANTI cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association between dairy products consumption and the probability of frailty transitions in community-dwelling older adults.

Design

Longitudinal study.

Setting and participants

We included 863 community-dwelling participants ≥65 years from the Chianti region in Italy.
