Nut Consumption Associated with Lower Risk of Physical Function Impairment

Aging is associated with a decline in many biological systems, including the musculoskeletal system, which may result in impaired physical functioning. For that reason, this study examined the association between nut intake and the risk of impaired physical function, such as agility, mobility, grip strength, gait speed and overall physical function in elderly volunteers.

A total of 3,289 participants from the ENRICA cohort were followed by two home visits to perform a physical examination and to obtain information on habitual diet. As a result, nut consumption was associated with lower risk of impaired agility and mobility in older men, and lower risk of impaired physical function in older women.
