- Abstract
Little is known regarding the relationship between overall diet quality and physical performance among older adults. We examined the association between overall diet quality, as measured by the US Department of Agriculture's Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005), and physical performance, as measured by gait speed (n = 2,132) and knee extensor power (n = 1,392), among adults aged 60 years or older.
