However, longitudinal data on the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and frailty are limited, and the intermediate mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the association between DII and incident frailty and the potential mediating roles of frailty-related biomarkers.</p></div><div><h3>Design</h3><p>Prospective cohort study.</p></div><div><h3>Setting</h3><p>The Mr. OS and Ms. OS (Hong Kong) study.</p></div><div><h3>Participants</h3><p>A total of 3,035 community-dwelling men and women aged above 65 years without frailty at baseline were included.</p></div><div><h3>Measurements</h3><p>DII scores were calculated using the locally validated food frequency questionnaire.

The DII-frailty association was significant in men but not in women. Furthermore, increasing serum homocysteine, decreasing serum folate, and reducing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) mediated 11.6%, 7.1%, and 9.6 % of the total relation between DII and frailty onset, respectively.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>In this cohort study, a pro-inflammatory diet was associated with a higher risk of frailty onset, mediated by homocysteine, folate, and renal function.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition Health & Aging","volume":"28 8","pages":"Article 100304"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1279770724003919/pdfft?md5=4eceacc70a850fecc32540d2832b186f&pid=1-s2.0-S1279770724003919-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141460723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
