Mediterranean diet and fatigue among community-dwelling postmenopausal women

Yan Su et al., 2022/1 PubMed #35038968 MSID: 3872
We investigated cross-sectional relationships between the Mediterranean diet and overall fatigue, energy, and weariness scores among 4,563 women aged 65+ from the Women's Health Initiative study. We also used the Isocaloric Substitution approach to explore whether the substitution of fish for red and processed meat, whole for non-whole grains, and whole fruit for fruit juice relate to RAND-36 measured overall fatigue and its subdomains. The alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED) Index quintiles (Q1...

Mediterranean diet and change in physical function over time in older women

Yan Su et al., 2025/4 PubMed #40179014 MSID: 4604
The Mediterranean diet has been linked to preserving physical function, but studies on its impact on physical function decline in older adults have shown mixed results. This longitudinal study used a large sample of community-dwelling older women from the Women's Health Initiative Long Life Study to examine this relationship. We assessed 4516 older women (mean age at baseline = 78.97), including a subsample of 849 women who reported currently having diabetes. Data on physical function, measured ...

Dietary Intakes of Women's Health Initiative Long Life Study Participants Falls Short of the Dietary Reference Intakes

Jeannette Beasley et al., 2020/9 PubMed #32680817 MSID: 2261
Background: Understanding how nutrient intake in older women compares with recommendations is important. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position statement summarizes the nutrient needs of older adults (aged =60 years) based on a systematic review. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare nutrient intake of Women's Health Initiative Long Life Study participants to the Dietary Reference Intakes for nutrients reviewed in the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position statement...

Branched-chain amino acid, meat intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in the Women's Health Initiative

Masoud Isanejad et al., 2017/6 PubMed #28721839 MSID: 2307
Knowledge regarding association of dietary branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), and the contribution of BCAA from meat to the risk of T2D are scarce. We evaluated associations between dietary BCAA intake, meat intake, interaction between BCAA and meat intake and risk of T2D. Data analyses were performed for 74 155 participants aged 50-79 years at baseline from the Women's Health Initiative for up to 15 years of follow-up. We excluded from analysis participants with treated...
