“…The most commonly used diet quality index was the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) developed by Trichopoulou et al [94], used in six studies [74,[76][77][78][79]84]. Three studies [82,85,86] assessed adherence to the MedDiet using dietary assessment tools developed in accordance with the MedDiet pyramid [95][96][97]. Bollwein et al [80] assessed dietary adherence using the alternate Mediterranean food (MED) score developed by Fung et al [98] which is an adaptation of the MDS developed by Trichopoulou et al [94] for application in non-Mediterranean populations.…”

In a cross-sectional analysis of n = 304 older adults from Italy, Fougere et al [86] reported a positive association between higher adherence to a MedDiet and lower limb functioning as assessed by the SPPB (SPPB score ≥ 7); however, this association did not exist with isometric hand-grip strength [86]. Using a FFQ based on the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition questionnaire [99] Robinson et al [83] used PCA to describe a "prudent" dietary pattern (PruDiet) characterized by high consumption of fruit, vegetables, whole-grain cereals, and fatty fish and low consumption of white bread, chips, sugar, and full-fat dairy products.…”

Mediterranean Diet attenuates risk of frailty and sarcopenia: New insights and future directions

Sarcopenia and physical frailty are associated with progressive disability and predictive of negative health outcomes. Dietary interventions are considered the cornerstone in the management of sarcopenic symptomology and physical frailty. However few studies have investigated preventative strategies. Moreover, most studies have focused on the efficacy of individual nutrients or supplements rather than dietary patterns. The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is a dietary pattern that provides evidence for an association between diet quality, healthy ageing and disease prevention. The purpose of this paper was to examine, synthesise and develop a narrative review of the current literature, investigating the potential benefits associated with adherence to a MedDiet and attenuation of physical frailty and sarcopenic symptomology in older adults. We also explored the underlying mechanisms underpinning the potential benefits of the MedDiet on ameliorating physical frailty and sarcopenic symptomology. Synthesis of the reviewed literature is suggestive of a decreased risk of physical frailty and sarcopenic symptomology with greater adherence to a MedDiet. We identified the anti-inflammatory and high antioxidant components of the MedDiet as two potential biological mechanisms involved. Due to a lack of evidence from RCTs to support the proposed physiological mechanisms, we suggest investigating these observations in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) whom are vulnerable to physical frailty and disability. A number of biological mechanisms describing the pathway to disability in older adults with T2DM have been postulated with many of these mechanisms potentially mitigated with dietary interventions involving the MedDiet. Exploring these mechanisms with the use of well-designed, longer-term dietary intervention studies in older adults with an increased vulnerability to physical frailty and sarcopenia is warranted.

Mediterranean diet is a healthy eating pattern associated with various health advantages. Different scoring methods of adherence to this diet have been used to investigate the association between the Mediterranean diet and muscle outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the association of the Mediterranean Dietary Quality Index (Med‐DQI) with handgrip strength (HS) and muscle endurance (ME). The current cross‐sectional study involved 268 Iranian adults aged 18–70 years. Anthropometric measures were evaluated. We used the 168‐item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to develop the Med‐DQI score. The Med‐DQI score ranges from 0 to 14 (lower score suggests higher adherence to Mediterranean diet). HS was measured by a digital handgrip dynamometer, and ME was the amount of time to reach a maximum of 50% of grip strength. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the association of Med‐DQI and its components with HS and ME. Med‐DQI score was not associated with mean handgrip strength (MHS) ( p = .34) and mean muscle endurance (MME) ( p = .69) in the crude model. The associations remained insignificant after the adjustment of covariates ( p = .16, .31, respectively). Among the components of Med‐DQI, cholesterol, meats, fish, and cereals were positively correlated with MHS ( p < .001 for all). Meats ( p = .02), olive oil ( p < .001), cereals ( p = .04), fruits and vegetables ( p < .001 for all) were also positively correlated with MME. According to our findings, Med‐DQI score is not associated with MHS and MME in a population of Iranian adults. Further longitudinal studies are required to confirm these findings.

So far, JCSM has published 563 papers, Nutrition 6198 papers, and JNHA 2396 papers. On average, JCSM has published 56 papers/year, Nutrition 188 papers/year, and JNHA 104 papers/year, which of course are major determinants of the respective journal's impact factor. This also underscores that all three journals have different approaches towards the number of papers published per year. We are grateful and look forward to more submissions of excellent research in the field of wasting and muscle disorders and are confident to maintain high quality in the Journal.
