초록/요약
Proper nutrition is a modifiable factor in preventing frailty. This study was conducted to identify the association between dietary patterns and frailty in the older adult population. The cross-sectional analysis was performed on 4632 subjects aged >= 65 years enrolled in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2014-2018. Food variety score (FVS) was defined as the number of foods items consumed over a day. Three dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis: "white rice and salted vegetables," "vegetables, oils, and fish," and "noodles and meat." The higher "white rice and salted vegetables" pattern score was related to significantly lower FVS, whereas higher "vegetables, oils, and fish" and "noodles and meat" pattern scores were associated with a higher FVS. Participants with higher FVS showed a low risk of frailty (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval, CI) = 0.44 (0.31-0.61), p-trend = 0.0001) than those with lower FVS. Moreover, the "vegetables, oils, and fish" pattern score was significantly associated with a low risk of frailty (OR (95% CI) = 0.55 (0.40-0.75), p-trend = 0.0002). These results suggested that consuming a dietary pattern based on vegetables, oils, and fish with high FVS might ameliorate frailty in older adults.
