Abstract

Although the global interest in plant-based diets is rising due to their environmental and health benefits, little is known about how plant-based diets and their quality relate to health aging. This study examined the associations of three plant-based diet indices with healthy aging in a community-based cohort of 6817 middle-aged and older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that higher quality plant-based diets are associated with healthier aging in a community-based cohort. This study is relevant as it explores dietary influences on healthy aging, which is a key aspect of longevity research.
