Investigation of the Diet-Gut-Muscle Axis in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the association between dietary fiber density (grams of fiber consumed per 100 kcal) with the gut-muscle axis in older adult men.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) cohort participants at Visit 4 (2014-16).

Participants

Older adult men (average age, 85y) from the MrOS study.

Measurements

Men who were in the highest tertiles for dietary fiber density and the percentage of whole body lean mass were defined as T3T3 (n=42), whereas men who were in the lowest and intermediate tertiles for these variables were defined as T1T1 (n=32), T1T3 (n=24), and T3T1 (n=13), respectively. Additionally, measures of physical function, including the short physical performance battery (SPPB) score and grip stre
