“…Several publications have revealed that healthy diets are associated with better quality of life [13, 15, 16]. For instance, studies have shown that individuals with a higher score for adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet [17, 18] and higher consumption of low-fat milk and yogurt [19] have lower odds of developing frailty, while a variety and quality of diets in older people [20] is increased by factors, such as social resources, money and help from friends and neighbors.…”

BackgroundThe increasing proportion of people growing old, demands expanded knowledge of how people can experience successful aging. Having a good life while growing old is dependent on several factors such as nutrition, physical health, the ability to perform activities of daily living, lifestyle and psychological health. Furthermore, unhealthy food intake is found to be a modifiable risk factor for depression in elderly people. To promote elderly’s health and wellbeing, the influence of nutrition, lifestyle, physical functioning, and social support on psychological distress needs exploring. Therefore, the purpose of this present study is to investigate the associations between psychological distress and diet patterns when adjusting for other life style behaviors, wellbeing, health status, physical functioning and social support in elderly people.MethodsThe present study is cross sectional, using data from wave three of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (2006–2008). Data include psychological distress measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), sociodemographic information, measurements of lifestyle behaviours (including diet patterns), wellbeing, health status, social support and physical functioning.ResultsThe sample consisted of 11,621 participants, 65 years or older. Cluster analysis categorized the participants in two food clusters based on similarities in food consumption (healthy N = 9128, unhealthy N = 2493). Stepwise multivariable linear regression analyses revealed that lesser psychological distress in the elderly was dependent on gender, diet, smoking, better scores on health and wellbeing, social support and less problems performing instrumental activities of daily living.ConclusionKnowledge about the influence of diet patterns in relation to psychological distress provide valuable insights into how society can promote healthy lifestyles to an ageing population, e.g. by increasing older people’s food knowledge.

“…There was no significant relationship between the consumption of fruit and vegetables and the existence of anemia and serum folate levels (p>0.05). Milk and milk products, which are important sources for vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin B 12 , riboflavin, and vitamin B 6 , play a role in red blood cell formation 31 . In a study carried out in Spain on individuals aged 80 and over, it was determined that the daily consumption of milk, yoghurt, and cheese were 1.4 portions, 1.2 portions, and 0.6 portions respectively 32 .…”

Abstract:Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the consumption of some foods and iron, B 12 , and folate deficiency in aged people. Method:A total number of 77 individuals aged 65 and over were involved in this study. The diagnosis of anemia was made according to the plasma hemoglobin levels of the patients based on WHO criteria. The data related to eating habits and socio-demographic features of the individuals and their consumption frequency of some foods were collected through a questionnaire form administered face-to-face. Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) and stadiometer were used for conducting anthropometric measurements. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)] and differences of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results:The mean age of the participants was 72.1±4.9 years. The mean BMI was 28.8±4.7 kg/m 2 of males and 33.6±5.7 kg/m 2 of females. The prevalence of anemia was 31.6% in females and 10.3% in males. While there were no individuals with folate deficiency, 13.0% of the individuals were found to have B 12 vitamin deficiency. The proportions of muscle mass and body water, visceral fat, and serum iron level in males were found significantly higher (p<0.05). The highest anemia frequency was observed in obese individuals (30.0%) and individuals aged 75 and over (22.7%) (p<0.05). While there was no relationship between the frequency of main and intermediate meal consumption and anemia, consumption of chicken was found to be significantly associated (p<0.05).Conclusion: Anemia in elderly people was determined to be significantly associated with age, gender, BMI, and the frequency of chicken consumption. Adequate and balanced nutrition for elderly people is important in preventing nutritional anemia.

“…During follow-up, 95 individuals died and 115 were lost, so information was obtained for only 2,404 persons in 2012. The socio-demographic, lifestyle and clinical characteristics at baseline were similar in those who provided updated information on frailty at 2012 and those who did not (13). …”

Obesity has been associated with higher risk of frailty in older adults, but the pathophysiological mechanisms are unclear. No previous study has examined the association between leptin, an adipokine, and the risk of frailty in older adults, and whether this association could be explained by insulin resistance or chronic inflammation. Data were taken from 1,573 individuals without diabetes mellitus, aged ≥60 years, from the Seniors-ENRICA cohort. In 2008-2010, leptin, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured. Study participants were followed-up through 2012 to assess incident frailty, defined as at least two of the following Fried criteria: exhaustion, weakness, low physical activity, and slow walking speed. Analyses were performed with logistic regression and adjusted for the main confounders. Over a median follow-up of 3.5 years, 280 cases of incident frailty were identified. Compared to individuals in the lowest tertile of serum leptin, those in the highest tertile showed an increased risk of frailty (odds ratio [OR]: 2.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-3.06; p-trend <0.001). Further adjustment for the percentage of body fat led to an OR of 1.69 (95% CI: 1.11-2.61; p-trend=0.01). After additional adjustment for HOMA-IR and CRP, the OR for frailty was 1.59 (95% CI: 1.01-2.52; p-trend=0.04). Results did not vary according to sex, abdominal obesity or the percentage of body fat. Being in the highest versus lowest tertile of leptin was associated with increased risk of exhaustion (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.32-3.55; p-trend=0.001) and muscle weakness (OR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.25-2.51; p-trend=0.001), in the analyses adjusted for potential confounders and body fat. Higher leptin concentration was associated with greater risk of frailty in older adults. This association was only modestly explained by insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, as measured by CRP.
