Low vitamin intake is associated with risk of frailty in older adults
Age and Aging Jul 28, 2018
Balboa-Castillo T, et al. - Researchers evaluated the link between dietary vitamin intake and incident frailty in older adults from Spain, using data from a cohort of 1643 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65, recruited in 2008–10 and followed up prospectively throughout 2012. They used a validated face-to-face diet history and evaluated 10 vitamins (vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6, B12, C, D, E and folates) at baseline. They found a higher risk of frailty in relation to a lower intake of vitamins B6, C, E and folates. Not meeting recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for vitamins was also strongly associated.
