Unhealthful plant-based diet associates with frailty risk predominantly in men with low income from the UK Biobank cohort
We observed that adherence to an unhealthful plant-based diet was associated with a higher risk for frailty. This relation was especially observed for men with lower incomes and not explained by other lifestyle factors. While future research may investigate more specific determinants of health and diet behavior in men of low household income, this group in particular may profit from diet intervention improving diet quality.
