Furthermore, when quintiles of ARFS score were tested against each ARCS sub-scale score, statistically significant associations were observed with the greatest effect for the Memory (β = 4.055; p = 0.001; R2 = 0.0065) and Attention (β = 4.136; p = 0.002; R2 = 0.0047) domains. No statistically significant associations were observed between quintiles of ARFS and MMSE score in the adjusted linear regression analyses. In conclusion, a positive association was observed between diet quality and cognitive performance within this sample of older Australian adults. Further investigation of the above association over time, when follow-up data becomes available, in longitudinal analysis is recommended.]]> Wed 22 Mar 2023 16:38:11 AEDT ]]> Diet quality is associated with higher nutrient intake and self-rated health in mid-aged women https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5611 40. Higher ARFS was associated with indicators of higher socio-economic status, better self-rated health and lower health service use, p<0.0001, higher intakes of micronutrients and lower percentage of energy as total or saturated fat, p<0.0001. Conclusions: The Australian Recommended Food Score can be used to rank mid-aged women in terms of diet quality and nutrient intake and is associated with indices of self-rated health and health service use. The ARFS can be used to measure future associations with health outcomes and mortality.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:24 AEDT ]]>
