Associations between Low-Carbohydrate Diets and Low-Fat Diets with Frailty in Community-Dwelling Aging Chinese Adults

Frailty is a major health issue associated with aging. Diet affects frailty status; however, studies on the associations between low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score, low-fat (LFD) score and in older Chinese adults are scarce. This study aimed to examine LCD LFD risk of adults. We analyzed data from 6414 participants aged ≥ 60 years China Northwest Natural Population Cohort: Ningxia Project. was measured using index (FI), calculated 28 items comprising diseases, behavioral disorders blood biochemistry classified as robust, pre-frail frail. scores were validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Multiple logistic regression models used evaluate LCD, frail or status after adjusting for confounders. Participants’ mean age 66.60 ± 4.15 years, 47.8% male. After age, sex, educational level, drinking, smoking, BMI, physical activity total energy, compared lowest quartile (Q1: reference), odds ratios (ORs) highest (Q4) 0.73 (95% confidence intervals: 0.61–0.88; p trend = 0.017) (95%CI: 0.55–0.95; 0.035), respectively. No significant observed either status. Our support that lower-carbohydrate diets lower status, particularly females, while fat not significantly Further intervention needed confirm these results.
