Dietary intake information was assessed using a 24-h dietary recall and food-frequency questionnaire, which were calculated a dietary diversity score (DDS; range, 0-6) and food consumption frequency. Assessment of frailty phenotypes was based on FRAIL scale which was proposed by the International Academy on Nutrition and Aging.<h4>Results</h4>Frail older adults had a higher risk of all-cause mortality when they were compared to those with robust physiologNutrients3825https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9502423biostudies-literatureThe Combined Effects of Dietary Diversity and Frailty on Mortality in Older Taiwanese People.PMC9502423Lee MSChang HYDoong JYPan WHHuang YCHuang WCfalseThe Combined Effects of Dietary Diversity and Frailty on Mortality in Older Taiwanese People.<h4>Objective</h4>To assess the prospective association between frailty and dietary diversity on mortality.<h4>Method</h4>This prospective cohort study used the 2005-2008 Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (N = 330; age ≥ 65 years) and this was linked to the Death Registry where we used the data that was recorded up to 31 January 2020.
