Abstract

The Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010) is a dietary index associated with chronic diseases and serves as an important metric for assessing the healthiness of one's diet. Serum Soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) is a protein related to anti-aging. There is currently a lack of research on the relationship between AHEI and S-Klotho. This study evaluated the relationship between the AHEI index and S-Klotho in the U.S. middle-aged and elderly population from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2016.

Research summary

The study claims that there is a positive relationship between the Alternative Healthy Eating Index and serum klotho levels in middle-to-older Americans. This research is relevant as it explores the connection between dietary habits and a protein associated with anti-aging, potentially contributing to understanding factors that influence longevity.
