#Prudentdiet

Recent research from the University of Southampton presents compelling evidence that dietary habits in one’s 60s could have significant implications for health outcomes, particularly regarding hip fractures and cardiovascular disease. Over a period of two decades, the study tracked nearly 3,000 individuals who began the research around the age of 65. The findings suggest a clear association between a “prudent” diet and a reduced risk of both bone fractures and heart disease mortality, offering valuable insights into preventative health measures for older adults.

New findings from a large 20-year study suggest that the dietary choices people make in their 60s can influence two major health risks for older adults: hip fractures and heart disease. The research followed nearly 3,000 participants who started around age 65, identifying a link between a “prudent” diet and lower rates of both bone fractures and cardiovascular mortality. The study supports the idea that what we eat in later life matters for long-term health.
