Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Incident Prefrailty and Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older People: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.

Robust older adults without frailty who eat current U.K. government recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption (5-10 portions/day) had significantly reduced risks of incident prefrailty/frailty compared with those who only eat small amount (0-2.5 portions/day). Older people can be advised that eating sufficient amounts of fruit and vegetable may be beneficial for frailty prevention.
