This study, led by Xiao-Meng Wang and Wen-Fang Zhong, examines the impact of changes in dietary diversity on the risk of frailty among older Chinese adults. Using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), the study followed over 12,000 participants aged 65 and above. The researchers found that maintaining a lower dietary diversity score (DDS) or experiencing a significant reduction in DDS was associated with a higher risk of frailty. The study highlights the importance of maintaining a diverse diet throughout old age to prevent frailty and improve health outcomes in later life.
