Healthful Plant-Based Diets and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: Mediation by Nutritional Status and Modification by Urban–Suburban Location and Gender in a Shanghai Community-Based Study

While this association is geographically equitable in Shanghai, suburban males do not appear to benefit, highlighting the need for gender- and context-sensitive dietary interventions.
