Association between cMIND diet adherence and frailty among Chinese older adults: A 10-year longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both cognitive impairment and diet are significant factors associated with frailty, however, the association between the Chinese Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (cMIND) diet and frailty remains unclear.

Methods

This longitudinal study analyzed data from 1,943 adults aged ≥65 in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) spanning 2008-2018. Adherence to the cMIND diet was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, whereas frailty status was determined using the frailty index. The cMIND dietary scores were categorized into three groups based on tertiles: (T1:0-4; T2:4.5-5.5; T3:6-12). The association between cMIND adherence and frailty incidence was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models, while the dose-response
