Sex-related differences in the association between frailty and dietary consumption in Japanese older people: A cross-sectional study

BMC Geriatrics Aug 09, 2019

Shibasaki K, et al. – Researchers undertook a cross-sectional study to determine sex-related differences in the link between frailty and dietary intake among community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 65 years. Overall, 905 older adults (46.4% male) were examined. Men demonstrated a high prevalence of frailty in relation to a low frequency of meat intake (less than twice a week), after adjusting for cofounders. A higher prevalence of frailty was reported in women in correlation with low frequencies of fish, meat, vegetable, potato, and snack intakes vs those who consumed foods from those categories daily. Ultimately, a link was identified between more food categories and frailty in women vs in men. The researchers suggested that nutritional intervention to prevent frailty may be more effective for women than for men.
