A link between eating meat and developing senile fragility

Chinese scientists have found a link between eating enough meat and being less likely to develop senile fragility. The study was published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.

The study involved 5,484 Nanjing residents over the age of 60. The scientists studied the characteristics of their diet and assessed the physical condition of the participants, including signs of senile fragility - a condition in which strength and ability to cope with everyday stress are reduced.

Age-related fragility was found in 16.9% of participants. With age, the prevalence of the condition increased: from 13.2% among relatively young participants in the older age group to 32.8% among the oldest.

People who ate the recommended amount of meat were about 30% less likely to have senile fragility than those who ate less than the recommended level. The authors noted that the association persisted after accounting for other factors, but the study shows the link rather than proving that eating meat directly prevents fragility.
