More inflammatory diets linked to muscle loss in older adults

In 1,048 older adults, higher dietary inflammation scores were linked to greater odds of age-related muscle loss, with an odds ratio (a comparison of odds) of 1.305.In 1,048 older adults, higher dietary inflammation scores were linked to greater odds of age-related muscle loss, with an odds ratio (a comparison of odds) of 1.305.
