Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Frailty
Abstract
Objective Το investigate associations between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and frailty in a Greek population of older adults. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Data were drawn from the Hellenic longitudinal Investigation of Aging and Diet (HELIAD), a population-based, multidisciplinary study designed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of dementia in the Greek population. Participants Data from 1740 participants aged ≥65 years were included in the present analysis. Participants were selected through random sampling from the records of 2 Greek municipalities. Measurements Adherence to Mediterranean diet was evaluated through the MedDietScore, calculated from the information participants provided to a validated food frequency questionnaire. Frailty was assessed using 3 different definitions (the phenotypic approach proposed by Fried et al, the Frailty Index, and the Tilburg Frailty Indicator). Unadjusted and adjusted logistic and linear regression models were performed. Results Of our participants, 70 (4%), 325 (18.7%), and 442 (25.4%) were identified as frail according to the Fried et al definition, the Frailty Index, and the Tilburg Frailty Indicator, respectively. Adjusting for confounding factors, each additional unit in the MedDietScore was associated with a 5% (P = .09), 4% (P = .005), and 7% (P Conclusions According to study results, a higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with lower odds of frailty, irrespective of the definition used…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
