Description
Summary:<h4>Objective</h4>This study investigates the association between dietary anthocyanidins consumption and the risk of frailty in the general adult population using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).<h4>Methods</h4>A cross-sectional analysis of NHANES data was conducted, examining the relationship between dietary anthocyanidins intake and frailty risk. Dose-response relationships and subgroup analyses were performed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the associations.<h4>Results</h4>The results indicate a significant inverse relationship between the consumption of specific anthocyanidin types, including malvidin and delphinidin, as well as total anthocyanidins, and the odds of frailty. Particularly, individuals aged 41-60 years and males exhibited a notable protective effect of anthocyanidins against frailty. Dose-response analyses revealed a U-shaped relationship between total anthocyanidins intake and frailty risk, with an optimal consumption level of 33.322 mg per day.<h4>Conclusion</h4>This pioneering study emphasizes the potential protective role of dietary anthocyanidins in mitigating frailty, especially among middle-aged individuals and males.
