Adherence to the MIND diet is associated with 12-year all-cause mortality in older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To prospectively evaluate the association of three dietary patterns: the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet; a Mediterranean-type diet and a traditional diet, with all-cause mortality over a 12-year period in an older sample.

A longitudinal birth cohort study. We ascertained dietary patterns using FFQ data at baseline (2004-2007) and mortality using linkage data. Cox regression was used to estimate mortality hazard ratios (HR) with adjustment for confounders.

Setting

The Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (LBC1936) study in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Participants

Dietary patterns were ascertained in 882 participants, mean age 69·5 (±0·8) years, at baseline. During the 12-year follow-up (to October 2019), 206 deaths oc
