Association of MTD with trajectories of the Mediterranean-type diet (MTD). The associations of the MTD and the trajectory of frailty index (FI) were tested using a linear mixed model in all participants (A), participants with baseline FI below (B) or above (C) the median value of 0.103. The trajectories are stratified by low (solid line), medium (dashed line), or high (dotted line) adherence to a MTD. The trajectory of FI differed by MTD in subjects with low FI at baseline where the low adherence group had a faster progression of FI over time compared with the medium and high adherence groups.
