| Research Abstract |
The aim of the study is to determine the characteristics of nutrient and food intake related to decline in higher-level functional capacity among community-dwelling elderly. One thousand fifty residents (mean age 67.5 years) at baseline were participated in the study. Higher-level functional decline was examined using the subscales of the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence. During the 8-year follow-up, 27.5% of eligible subjects reported decline in a higher-level functional capacity. For nutrient and food intakes, lower intake of protein, marine origin n-3 PUFA, and seaweed was significantly associated with the risk of higher-level functional decline in the multivariate analysis. For dietary pattern analysis, those with light eating pattern were associated with the future risk of higher-level functional decline. Our finding may provide practical guidance for nutrition education for elderly due to easily understand for the public to interpret.
