However, whether this is also the case at older ages, when energy deficits, muscle loss and frailty affect health, is unclear. Research has shown that among older adults, particularly in men, a healthful PBD is associated with a lower frailty risk. This relation was however, not studied in the context of socio-economic status (SES), a major factor influencing the risk of frailty. Therefore, we aim to assess whether plant-based diets associate with frailty risk at older ages and whether this association is moderated by sex and income in a large population-based dataset.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We investigated baseline data from the UK Biobank cohort study (UKB) cross-sectionally (n = 73 180, mean age = 55.48 ± 7.87). We applied a plant-based diet index [range 17−85], differentiating between a healthful (hPDI) and unhealthful plant-based diet (uPDI). Frailty was assessed by the Fried frailty phenotype and categorized into 0–4 symptoms of frailty. Average annual household income was divided into three categories: low (<18.000 £), medium (18.000–52.000 £) and high (>52.000 £). We applied an ordinal logistic regression model with frailty as the categorical outcome and PDI as continuous predictor while adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, education, BMI and UKB assessment center. Secondly, we included an interaction term (PDI*sex*income). To identify subgroups driving any interactions, we stratified by sex and subsequently by income group to determine the effect of PDI in subgroups while additionally adjusting for lifestyle factors.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A 10-unit increase in hPDI was associated with 3.4% lower odds for frailty (OR = 0.966, 95%CI [0.946, 0.987]), whereas a 10-unit increase in uPDI was associated with 7.7% greater odds for frailty (OR = 1.077, 95%CI [1.054, 1.101]). The association between uPDI and frailty was moderated by income and sex (uPDI*income*sex, p = 0.002), whereas no such moderation was found for hPDI (p = 0.602). Subsequent stratification reveals a significant effect of uPDI on frailty particularly among men with low income (OR = 1.177, 95% CI [1.069, 1.298]), but not for women.

Compared to the healthy aging group, the vision and cognitive decline group and the comprehensive deterioration group displayed a significantly greater risk of a decline in the TMIG-IC score (multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.05 [1.11, 3.79], 2.74 [1.41, 5.30], respectively), the LSI-K score (multivariable-adjusted <em>β</em> [standard error] = −0.46 [0.08], −0.52 [0.10], respectively), and the RSES score (multivariable-adjusted <em>β</em> [standard error] = −0.85 [0.16], −0.66 [0.20], respectively). The “hearing decline group” did not show a significantly increased risk for these outcomes.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Older adults with different IC trajectories may differ in HLFC, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. Public health officials should be aware of this and provide targeted interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition Health & Aging","volume":"29 1","pages":"Article 100432"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
