Objectives
We developed a novel measure for older U.S. adults called the Nutrition Equity Index (NEI), which includes functional ability. We compared both the NEI and food insufficiency with Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores.
Design
The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study is a prospective, longitudinal cohort of Medicare-eligible, community-dwelling Black and White men and women.
Setting
Pittsburgh, PA and Memphis, TN.
Participants
Participants (N = 2468, aged 74.7 ± 2.9 years) had baseline (1997−98) and 1-year follow-up NEI data; and 1 year follow-up for food insufficiency, key covariates, and the HEI (diet quality measure) from a 108-item interviewer-administered food frequency questionnaire.
Measurements
Food insufficiency was defined from a modified validated question on ample food amount/variety from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. NEI was constructed from 8 questions in three subdomains: food insecurity (food insufficiency, hunger, anxiety about limited food, limited money for food), food access (groceries), and food acquisition (difficulty shopping, preparing meals, carrying groceries). Final NEI categories were low nutrition equity (0), moderate nutrition equity (1), and high nutrition equity (2). Multivariable linear regression compared both NEI and food insufficiency with HEI, adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle and comorbidity factors.
Results
Of participants, 13.5% had food insufficiency, 12.1% had low NEI, and 32.5% had moderate NEI. Participants with food insufficiency (vs. food sufficiency) or low NEI (vs. high NEI) were more likely to be Black and have < high school education (both p < 0.0001). In minimally adjusted models, food insufficiency was associated with 2.2 point lower HEI score (p = 0.001), low NEI with 2.6 point lower HEI score (p = 0.001), and moderate NEI with 1.0 point lower HEI score (p < 0.05). Adjusting for race attenuated NEI associations with HEI to non-significance. After multivariable adjustment, food insufficiency was associated with 1.5 point lower HEI score (p = 0.03).
Conclusion
Food insufficiency was associated with lower dietary quality in this sample of older Black and White U.S. adults. NEI performed similarly to food insufficiency for HEI associations prior to multivariable adjustment and identified more older adults with nutrition inequity, who may be at risk for poor health outcomes.
目标我们为美国老年人开发了一种名为营养公平指数(NEI)的新测量方法,其中包括功能能力。我们将营养公平指数和食物不足指数与健康饮食指数 (HEI) 的得分进行了比较。参与者(N = 2468,年龄为 74.7 ± 2.9 岁)拥有基线(1997-1998 年)和 1 年随访的 NEI 数据;以及 1 年随访的食物不足、主要协变量和 HEI(饮食质量测量)数据,这些数据来自由访问者管理的 108 项食物频率问卷。NEI由三个子域中的8个问题构成:食物不安全(食物不足、饥饿、对食物有限的焦虑、购买食物的钱有限)、食物获取(杂货)和食物获取(购物、准备膳食、携带杂货的困难)。最终的营养公平指数类别为低营养公平指数(0)、中营养公平指数(1)和高营养公平指数(2)。多变量线性回归比较了NEI和食物不足与HEI,并对社会人口学、生活方式和合并症等因素进行了调整。结果 在参与者中,13.5%的人存在食物不足,12.1%的人存在低NEI,32.5%的人存在中度NEI。食物不足(vs.食物充足)或低NEI(vs.高NEI)的参与者更有可能是黑人且具有<高中学历(均为p<0.0001)。在最小调整模型中,食物不足与 HEI 分数降低 2.2 分相关(p = 0.001),低 NEI 与 HEI 分数降低 2.6 分相关(p = 0.001),中度 NEI 与 HEI 分数降低 1.0 分相关(p <0.05)。调整种族因素后,NEI 与 HEI 的相关性减弱至不显著。结论在美国老年黑人和白人样本中,食物不足与较低的膳食质量有关。在进行多变量调整之前,NEI 与食物不足在 HEI 关联性方面的表现类似,并且发现了更多存在营养不均的老年人,他们可能面临不良健康后果的风险。

Objectives
Our study evaluated the independent and overall associations of vegetable and fruit consumption at midlife with the likelihood of physical frailty in later life. We also investigated whether specific nutrients in these foods could have accounted for these associations, if present.
Design
Prospective cohort study.
Setting
A population-based cohort of Chinese adults followed over a period of 20 years in Singapore.
Participants
We used data from 11,959 subjects who participated in the baseline (1993–1998) and follow-up 3 (2014–2017) interviews of the Singapore Chinese Health Study.
Measurements
At baseline, dietary intake was evaluated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. During the follow-up 3 visits, physical frailty was assessed using a modified Cardiovascular Health Study phenotype that included weakness, slowness, exhaustion and weight loss. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the associations with physical frailty.
Results
Participants had mean ages of 52 years at baseline, and 72 years at follow-up 3. Baseline intake of vegetables, but not of fruits, showed a dose-dependent inverse relationship with physical frailty at follow-up 3 (Ptrend = 0.001). Compared to participants in the lowest quintile of vegetable intake, those in the highest quintile had reduced odds of frailty [OR (95% CI): 0.73 (0.60−0.89)]. Among the components of physical frailty, vegetable intake had the strongest inverse association with weakness defined by handgrip strength [OR (95% CI) between extreme quintiles: 0.62 (0.52−0.73); Ptrend < 0.001]. In models that were individually adjusted for nutrients, the vegetable-frailty association was attenuated and no longer statistically significant after adjusting for the intake of β-carotene, lutein, folate, α-carotene, and isothiocyanates.
Conclusion
: Increased midlife intake of vegetables was associated with reduced odds of physical frailty in later life, and the intake of β-carotene, lutein, folate, α-carotene, and isothiocyanates could have accounted for this association.

Objectives
Insulin resistance determined by Homeostasis Model of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) has been associated with functional decline in non-diabetic older subjects. However, insulin is not routinely assessed. The study evaluated the predictive value of non-insulin-dependent IR surrogates on functional decline in non-diabetic older men and women.
Design and participants
Prospective cohort study over 5 years. The study included 615 older participants from the Toledo Study of Healthy Aging.
Methods
Frailty was assessed by the Frailty Trait Scale-5 (FTS-5) at baseline and after 5 years follow-up. 193 subjects experienced functional decline (2.5-point reduction in the FTS-5 score). Multivariate regression models analysed the effect of five described IR surrogates on functional decline considering potential confounders.
Results
Among evaluated IR proxies, triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and HOMA-IR were significantly associated with an increased risk of functional decline (odd ratio (95% confidence interval) TyG-BMI: 1.16 (1.05, 1.28), p = 0.0035 and HOMA-IR: 1.59 (1.15, 2.21), p = 0.0056) among all participants. When stratified by gender, HOMA-IR was related to functional decline in men [2.02 (1.13, 3.59), p = 0.0173] and TyG-BMI in women [1.19 (1.05, 1.35), p = 0.0057].
Conclusions
Only TyG-BMI index mimics the predictive capacity of insulin-based IR marker. The predictive ability of IR indexes is gender-specific, being TyG-BMI the only index able to predict functional decline in women and HOMA-IR in men.
目的通过胰岛素抵抗稳态模型(HOMA-IR)确定的胰岛素抵抗与非糖尿病老年人的功能衰退有关。然而,胰岛素并不是常规评估指标。该研究评估了非胰岛素依赖型红外替代物对非糖尿病老年男性和女性功能衰退的预测价值。研究对象包括托莱多健康老龄化研究(Toledo Study of Healthy Aging)中的 615 名老年参与者。方法在基线和随访 5 年后,用虚弱特质量表-5(FTS-5)评估虚弱程度。193名受试者出现功能衰退(FTS-5得分下降2.5分)。考虑到潜在的混杂因素,多变量回归模型分析了五种已描述的 IR 代用指标对功能衰退的影响。结果在所有参与者中,甘油三酯血糖-体重指数(TyG-BMI)和 HOMA-IR 与功能衰退风险增加显著相关(奇异比(95% 置信区间)TyG-BMI:1.16 (1.05, 1.28),p = 0.0035;HOMA-IR:1.59 (1.15, 2.21),p = 0.0056)。结论只有 TyG-BMI 指数模拟了基于胰岛素的 IR 指标的预测能力。IR指标的预测能力具有性别特异性,TyG-BMI是唯一能够预测女性功能衰退的指标,而HOMA-IR则是唯一能够预测男性功能衰退的指标。

Objectives
Aging involves significant changes in body composition, marked by declines in muscle mass and bone mineral density alongside an increase in fat mass. Sarcopenia is characterized by low strength and muscle mass, and osteosarcopenia is the coexistence of sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis. Physiologically, there is a crosstalk between muscle and bone tissues mediated by several pathways. Both, sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia, have been related with adverse outcomes such as functional disability. However, there is a lack of longitudinal studies. Therefore, this study aimed to assess whether sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia phenotypes increased the risk of functional disability in a longitudinal cohort of community-dwelling adults.
Design
This study constitutes a secondary longitudinal analysis of data derived from the prospective cohort FraDySMex (Frailty, Dynapenia, and Sarcopenia in Mexican adults).
Setting and participants
FraDySMex is conducted in community-dwelling adults aged 50 years or older living in Mexico City. Data from 2014 to 2015 was considered as baseline evaluation, and the 2019 wave was the follow-up evaluation. Individuals with complete baseline and follow-up evaluations were included in the analysis.
Measurements
Sarcopenia diagnosis adhered to the FNIH criteria, while osteopenia/osteoporosis classification followed WHO guidelines. Osteosarcopenia was defined as the concurrent presence of sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis. Functional disability was identified by the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale. Adjusted mixed-effects logistic regression models were estimated to evaluate the effect of body composition phenotype on the risk of functional disability.
Results
The final sample included 320 adults with complete longitudinal data. The majority of were women (83.4%) and had 7–12 years of education (48.4%). At the baseline evaluation, 50.9% aged 50–70. The osteosarcopenia phenotype was associated with a higher risk of functional disability (OR: 2.17, p = 0.042) compared with the no osteopenia/sarcopenia group. Conversely, sarcopenia (OR: 1.50, p = 0.448) and osteopenia/osteoporosis (OR: 1.50, p = 0.185) phenotypes were not associated with functional disability.
Conclusions
Our study underscores that osteosarcopenia significantly increased the risk of functional disability, particularly in terms of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). These results emphasize the importance of screening for sarcopenia, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and osteosarcopenia across various clinical settings. Early detection and intervention hold promise for averting functional disability and mitigating associated adverse outcomes in adults.

Objectives
Intrinsic capacity (IC), a multidimensional construct encompassing mental and physical capacities, has been established in the aging framework by the World Health Organization. However, the detailed relationship between IC and Chinese sleep patterns (nighttime sleep and post-lunch naps) remains inadequately elucidated.
Methods
Participants in this study were individuals aged ≥45 years residing in China, included in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). We analyzed 4 years of CHARLS data from the first wave (May 2011–March 2012) to the second wave (July 2015–January 2016). Data from these waves were utilized for longitudinal analysis. Self-reported data included nighttime sleep and nap duration, along with other baseline characteristics. The IC evaluation involved physical examinations and blood tests. Initially, linear regression was used to assess the relationship between total sleep duration, nighttime sleep duration, nap duration, and IC change between the two waves that were determined by marginal effects (ME) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Regression splines were employed to explore potential nonlinear associations. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to investigate the heterogeneity of IC change under specific conditions and the robustness of our results. Mediation analysis was performed to identify potential factors mediating the relationship between sleep patterns and IC change.

Both excessive (>10 h) (total, ME: −1.12; 95% CI: −1.61, −0.64; nighttime, ME: −1.44; 95% CI: −2.29, −0.59) and insufficient (<6 h) sleep duration (total, ME: −0.43; 95% CI: −0.68, −0.18; nighttime, ME: −0.50; 95% CI: −0.73, −0.27) negatively impacted IC change. Moderate naps (≤60 min) mitigated the decline in IC change (ME: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.49). IC values decreased at the slowest rate when nap time constituted one-seventh of total sleep time. The onset of dyslipidemia partially mediated the association between naps (≤60 min) and IC change (P = 0.02).
Conclusions
These findings suggest that maintaining a healthy sleep pattern of 6−8 h of nighttime or total sleep, along with a post-lunch nap of ≤60 min, helps preserve optimal IC or delay its decline. This is particularly beneficial for cognitive, psychological, and locomotion performance among middle-aged and older adults.

Adequate protein intake is important to maintain skeletal muscle mass in older adults and to prevent sarcopenia. Insect-based supplements were recently introduced to the market as an environmentally friendly protein alternative. We examined the effect of daily supplementation of lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus) protein for 11 consecutive weeks on muscle mass and muscle strength in older adults.
Methods
In this randomized controlled trial, 70 physically active older adults (>60 years) were randomly allocated to three groups: (I) lesser mealworm protein, (II) whey protein or (III) iso-caloric placebo. Participants received 11 weeks of supplements two times a day (30 gram/day). Muscle mass, fat mass, leg muscle strength and handgrip strength were measured at baseline and after 11 weeks of supplementation.
Results
Of the 70 participants, 59 completed the supplementation period (mealworm n = 16; whey n = 23; iso-caloric placebo n = 20). Overall, skeletal muscle mass increased from 29.0 ± 6.2 kg to 29.3 ± 6.1 kg, with a significantly more profound increase in the lesser mealworm group (+0.67 [0.20–1.14] kg) compared to the whey (+0.03 [-0.20 – 0.28] kg) and placebo group (+0.30 [0.03 – 0.63] kg, Pgroup*time = 0.030). Fat mass and maximum handgrip strength decreased over time, whereas one-repetition maximum (1RM) leg muscle strength did not change pre- versus post-intervention. No group differences, nor interaction effects, were observed for fat mass, leg muscle strength and handgrip strength
Conclusion
11-weeks of lesser mealworm protein supplementation induced an increase in skeletal muscle mass compared to whey protein supplementation and iso-caloric placebo in physically active older adults. No differences among groups were observed for changes in muscle strength.

Objectives
Persistent and significant swallowing impairment can occur in individuals with dementia. Determining prognosis and establishing realistic goals of care in this population is complex and comfort feeding may be recommended. This study aimed to establish evidence relating to patient outcomes following recommendation of comfort feeding to aid informed decision making.
Design
A multi-centre, retrospective audit was conducted for a two-year period to establish the survival and readmission rates for hospitalised people with dementia, following recommendation of a comfort feeding plan.
Setting
The study was conducted at three acute care hospitals in Adelaide, South Australia.
Participants
A total of 163 participants were included, 90 male and 73 female, with a median age of 88 years.
Measurements
Mortality within 30 and 90 days of admission and readmission rates within 30 days of discharge were calculated.
Results
Forty-two percent of participants died during the admission during which a comfort feeding plan was recommended. Overall median survival time and one month survival was 13 days and 25%, respectively. Readmission rates were low (7.4% of those discharged). Comfort feeding recommendations aligned with dysphagia severity and those for whom Nil By Mouth (NBM) or ice chips only were recommended were at highest risk of dying in hospital, those recommended thickened fluids +/− ice chips were most likely to be alive 30 days after their original admission date.
Conclusion
Dementia and comfort feeding were associated with high mortality rates, high rates of discharge to a supportive care facility and low readmission rates. Dysphagia severity associated with the consistency of fluids recommended.
