Association of Mushrooms and Algae Consumption with Mortality among Chinese Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Mushrooms and algae are important sources of dietary bioactive compounds, but their associations with mortality remain unclear. We examined the association of mushrooms and algae consumption with subsequent risk of all-cause mortality among older adults. This study included 13,156 older adults aged 65 years and above in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2008-2018).

After adjustment for demographic, lifestyle, and other dietary factors, participants wh
