Associations of chinese-modified MIND diet with low muscle mass and physical performance among old adults in china: findings from the CLHLS 2018 national survey.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite established health benefits of the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet in older populations, its relationship with muscle health remains largely unexplored. This study investigated associations between adherence to a Chinese-modified MIND diet and both low muscle mass (LMM) and physical performance among community-dwelling older Chinese adults.
methodsData were drawn from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), including 13,422 older adults. Muscle mass was assessed using a validated appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) prediction formula. Physical performance was evaluated using a four-item functional assessment scale in reference to SARC-F. The associations between Chinese version of the MIND (cMIND) diet adherence and outcomes were examined using multivariable logistic regression for LMM and linear regression for physical performance. Comprehensive subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess effect modification and result robustness.
resultsThe prevalence of LMM was 45.2% among participants. Higher cMIND diet scores demonstrated significant inverse associations with LMM probability across all analytical models. After full adjustment for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related confounders, participants in the highest tertile of cMIND adherence showed substantially lower odds of LMM compared to those in the lowest tertile (odds ratio [OR]: 0.79; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.69-0.90). Similarly, better cMIND diet adherence was positively associated with higher physical performance score in multivariable models. These findings remained consistent across sensitivity analyses.
conclusionGreater adherence to the cMIND dietary pattern is independently associated with lower probability of LMM and better physical performance among older Chinese adults. These findings suggest potential benefits of promoting MIND diet principles for maintaining musculoskeletal health in aging populations.
