ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Observing the dietary principles of the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has exhibited an association with a diminished occurrence of diverse ailments, enhanced mental well-being, and extended longevity. Nevertheless, current literature is deficient in terms of investigating the link between the MIND diet and subjective well-being (SWB) specifically in older adults. Hence, this study endeavors to examine the correlation between adhering to a Chinese-modified Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (cMIND) diet and SWB in the older Chinese adults, taking into account the unique dietary attributes of the Chinese population.METHODS:
Using data from the latest four waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Multiple linear regression and multinomial ordered logistic regression were employed to examine the relationship between the duration of adherence to cMIND diet and SWB in Chinese older adults.RESULTS:
The results indicated a significant association between the duration of adherence to cMIND diet and SWB (1 â¼ 6 years B = 0.907, 95%CI = 0.508 â¼ 1.307, P < 0.001; 7 â¼ 9 years B = 1.286, 95%CI = 0.767 â¼ 1.805, P < 0.001; 10 years and above B = 2.320, 95%CI = 1.677 â¼ 2.963, P < 0.001). The longer the duration of adherence to cMIND diet, the higher the scores for life satisfaction (B = 0.184, 95%CI = 0.110 â¼ 0.259; B = 0.312, 95%CI = 0.217 â¼ 0.407; B = 0.321, 95%CI = 0.193 â¼ 0.448), positive affect (B = 0.434, 95%CI = 0.209 â¼ 0.658; B = 0.701, 95%CI = 0.400 â¼ 1.003; B = 1.167, 95%CI = 0.775 â¼ 1.559), and negative affect (B = 0.289, 95%CI = 0.078 â¼ 0.500; B = 0.832, 95%CI = 0.479 â¼ 1.185), suggesting a higher SWB score. Sensitivity analysis further supports our findings.CONCLUSION:
Considering the poor knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to diet among Chinese adults, especially older adults, it is imperative to implement dietary policies that promote SWB in older adults to enhance their happiness in later life.
