Association Between the Dietary Inflammatory Index and Cognitive Frailty in Older Adults: A Cross Sectional Analysis of NHANES Data.

BACKGROUND Cognitive frailty (CF) is a prevalent geriatric syndrome associated with increased risks of falls, hospitalization, disability, and all-cause mortality among older adults. Emerging evidence suggests that chronic inflammation may contribute to the pathophysiology of CF, while dietary patterns can modulate inf...
