“…All 4 studies used the MDS, which is a tool used to measure adherence to the traditional Mediterranean diet based on the salient characteristic of this diet; scores range from 0 to 9, with a higher score indicative of greater adherence . Three studies used modified versions of the Cardiovascular Health Study frailty criteria, which is one of the most widely used measures to define physical frailty based on 5 criteria (unintentional weight loss, self‐reported exhaustion, weakness, slow walking speed, low physical activity) . One study used the FRAIL scale, which can measure frailty according to the answers to 5 simple questions about fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, and loss of weight .…”

“…One study used the FRAIL scale, which can measure frailty according to the answers to 5 simple questions about fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, and loss of weight . Two studies divided their cohort into 3 groups (MDS 0–3, 4–5, 6–9), and 1 study used sex‐stratified tertiles . Two studies used the MDS as a continuous variable .…”

“…Two following studies showed the protective role of the MD from the development of frailty. The first study [163] was conducted on a French population from the Bordeaux cohort study of Three-City Study [164]. The semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to evaluated food habits, while the MDS was used to evaluate the adherence to the MD [84].…”

The Mediterranean Diet Slows Down the Progression of Aging and Helps to Prevent the Onset of Frailty: A Narrative Review

et al. 2019

The aging population is rapidly increasing all over the world. This results in significant implications for the planning and provision of health and social care. Aging is physiologically characterized by a decrease in lean mass, bone mineral density and, to a lesser extent, fat mass. The onset of sarcopenia leads to weakness and a further decrease in physical activity. An insufficient protein intake, which we often observe in patients of advanced age, certainly accelerates the progression of sarcopenia. In addition, many other factors (e.g., insulin resistance, impaired protein digestion and absorption of amino acids) reduce the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis in the elderly, even if the protein intake is adequate. Inadequate intake of foods can also cause micronutrient deficiencies that contribute to the development of frailty. We know that a healthy eating style in middle age predisposes to so-called "healthy and successful" aging, which is the condition of the absence of serious chronic diseases or of an important decline in cognitive or physical functions, or mental health. The Mediterranean diet is recognized to be a "healthy food" dietary pattern; high adherence to this dietary pattern is associated with a lower incidence of chronic diseases and lower physical impairment in old age. The aim of our review was to analyze observational studies (cohort and case-control studies) that investigated the effects of following a healthy diet, and especially the effect of adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MD), on the progression of aging and on onset of frailty.

“…Adherence to the Mediterranean diet appears to be particularly protective against developing frailty (53)(54)(55)(56). This effect appears to be related predominantly to a higher intake in polyphenols (57).…”
