“…The DDS of Chinese older adults would gradually increase with age and across successive cohorts. Many studies have shown that the dietary diversity of older adults decreases with age because the decline of chewing and digestive functions caused by aging will lead to lower dietary diversity ( 22 ). However, this study found that due to the rapid socioeconomic development and prosperity of the food market in current China ( 33 ), the dietary diversity of urban and rural older adults has increased with age in recent years.…”

“…Previous studies have focused on the health consequence of dietary diversity and sociodemographic disparities in dietary diversity, but the temporal change of dietary diversity has been less frequently discussed ( 22 ). Some studies have documented that the chewing and digestive function of older adults will gradually decline with age, thereby limiting their dietary diversity ( 22 , 23 ). However, as time goes by, the macro-socioeconomic level, agricultural industry developmental level, and food richness will also gradually increase, thus contributing to the improvement of dietary diversity ( 24 ).…”

“…However, few studies have examined the cohort change in dietary diversity. The nutrition intake and dietary health of older adults born before the 1950s, when economic development was lagging behind, have experienced profound changes in the life stage of middle-aged and older for decades, and it is highly related to the rapid socioeconomic change of China and the life course of older adults, as well as their combination, in recent years ( 8 , 22 ). In addition, effects of rural–urban residence and SES on dietary diversity among older adults may also vary with age and across successive cohorts.…”

The association between socioeconomic status (SES) and dietary diversity score (DDS) has been widely discussed, but little is known about the age and cohort effects on DDS and how the SES effect on DDS varies with age and across successive cohorts among urban and rural older adults in China. Thus, this study aimed to examine the temporal change in DDS among Chinese older adults and SES heterogeneities in such change from the perspective of urban–rural differentiation. Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) between 2002 and 2018 were used, and a total of 13,728 participants aged between 65 and 105 years were included in this study. A total of eight food groups were used to assess DDS, while education, family income, and perceived income status were used to assess SES. A linear mixed model was used to estimate the age and cohort effects on DDS and their urban–rural and SES disparities. The results show that higher SES, including more education, family income, and perceived income status, was associated with higher DDS (for urban older adults, β = 0.1645, p = 0.0003, β = 0.2638, p < 0.0001, β = 0.2917, p < 0.0001, respectively; for rural older adults, β = 0.0932, p = 0.0080, β = 0.4063, p < 0.0001, β = 0.2921, p < 0.0001, respectively). The DDS of older adults increased with age and across successive cohorts in both urban and rural China. Moreover, we found the three-way interaction effect of SES, age, and cohort was statistically significant in both urban and rural China. Thus, living in an urban area and having higher SES are associated with higher DDS, but these associations change with age and across successive cohorts. The dietary health of earlier cohorts and rural oldest-old in China deserves more attention.

“…This nuanced health education approach likely has a positive impact on adjusting dietary patterns and promoting good nutritional habits among pregnant women. However, the lack of a significant effect on salt intake in CDIP intervention results may indicate the relative stability of individual taste preferences [ 101 ]. Taste preferences are often influenced by cultural factors, personal preferences, and habits, making it challenging to change pregnant women’s preferences for salty flavors through short-term health education alone [ 102 ].…”

In urban Chinese women with normal body weight during pregnancy, we implemented a comprehensive dietary intervention program aimed at enhancing nutrient literacy, dietary quality, and gestational weight gain. The methods included both online and offline health education on prenatal nutrition, weekly weight monitoring, family back education practices, and real-time dietary guidance. The intervention was delivered to randomly assigned control and intervention group participants from gestational week 12 to week 24. The intervention group (n = 44; 100% complete data) showed significant differences (mean (SD)) compared to the control group (n = 42; 95.5% complete data) in nutrient literacy (53.39 ± 6.60 vs. 43.55 ± 9.58, p < 0.001), restrained eating (31.61 ± 7.28 vs. 28.79 ± 7.96, p < 0.001), Diet Quality Distance (29.11 ± 8.52 vs. 40.71 ± 7.39, p < 0.001), and weight gain within the first 12 weeks of intervention (4.97 ± 1.33 vs. 5.98 ± 2.78, p = 0.029). However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of gestational diabetes (2 (4.5%) vs. 4 (9.5%), p = 0.629). Participants in the intervention group reported an overall satisfaction score of 4.70 ± 0.46 for the intervention strategy. These results emphasize the positive role of comprehensive dietary intervention in promoting a healthy diet during pregnancy.
