Description: There are few studies on dietary patterns and frailty in Asians, and the results are controversial. Therefore, this study examined the association between dietary patterns and frailty in older Korean adults using the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS). The sample consisted of 511 subjects, aged 70-84 years, community-dwelling older people from the KFACS. Dietary data were obtained from the baseline study (2016-2017) using two nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls, and dietary patterns were extracted using reduced rank regression. Frailty was measured by a modified version of the Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) in both the baseline (2016) and the first follow-up study (2018). A logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between dietary patterns and frailty status in 2018. The "meat, fish, and vegetables" pattern was inversely associated with pre-frailty (OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.21-0.81, p for trend = 0.009) and exhaustion (OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.20-0.85, p for trend = 0.020). The "milk" pattern was not significantly associated with frailty status or the FFP components. In conclusion, a dietary pattern with a high consumption of meat, fish, and vegetables was associated with a lower likelihood of pre-frailty. ; open
