Abstract
Results: Adjusting for covariates, in men, frequency of milk and their products consumption was inversely associated with IADL disability [OR (95% CI): 0.29 (0.13-0.65); p for trend=0.003]. Frequencies of fish and shellfish, and beverages consumption were also inversely associated with IADL disability. In women, frequencies of vegetables, seaweeds, and beverages consumption were inversely associated with ADL disability. Frequency of legumes and their products consum- ption was inversely associated with IADL disability [OR (95% CI): 0.56 (0.33-0.95); p for trend=0.063]. Conclusion: Increased frequencies of food group consumption may be protective against functional disability in Korean older people. Further research is needed to ascertain the effect of diet on physical disability in older persons.
