    Abstract:
    Background: High dietary diversity has been found to be associated with frailty. However, the trajectory of dietary diversity intake in relation to frailty is unclear. Methods: Using the latent class trajectory modeling approach, we identified distinctive dietary variety trajectory groups among 2017 participants based on the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey acquired at four time points within a 10-year period. Frailty status was assessed using a frailty index comprising 37 health deficits. Dietary diversity was quantified using the dietary variety score (DVS), based on food category consumption frequency. Logistic regression analyses were employed to explore the association between DVS change trajectories and frailty. Results: This study identified two distinct DVS trajectories: “Moderate-Slow decline-Slow growth”, encompassing 810 (40.16%) individuals, and “Moderate-Slow growth-Accelerated decline”, including 1207 (59.84%) individuals. After adjusting for covariates, the odds ratio for DVS in the “Moderate-Slow decline-Slow growth” group was 1.326 (95% confidence interval: 1.075–1.636) compared to the “Moderate-Slow growth-Accelerated decline” group. The “Moderate-Slow decline-Slow growth” trajectory continued to decrease and was maintained at a low level in the early stages of aging. Conclusion: Sustaining a high dietary diversity trajectory over time, particularly in the early stages of aging, could potentially decrease the risk of frailty among older Chinese adults.

    Lifespan and longevity are related concepts in that both are measures of biological time. The qualifier that separates the two is that longevity requires a long lifespan. Both concepts are intertwined and from a biological perspective they define windows of time within which key milestones for Darwinian success must be met. Longevity is an essential part of how organisms adapt to the risks that endanger life or reproduction. Aging and longevity are quite different concepts that follow parallel paths. As longevity increases, so does the irreparable cellular damage accumulation arising from biochemical side reactions. The critical difference is that longevity has a genetic basis and aging does not.
    Limited evidence on healthy longevity was provided in the world, and no studies investigated the fractions of healthy longevity attributed to modifiable factors.

    The effects of temperature and nutrition on the adult longevity of Microplitis tuberculifer(Hymenoptera:Braconidae) were examined in laboratory.The results indicated that the adult longevity had significantly difference under different temperature conditions,which shortened with increasing of temperature.Water supply had no significant influence on adult longevity.Honey water can effectively extend adult longevity.The adult longevity was the longest(24.6±3.0 days for female and 13.8±2.5 days for male)at 18℃ with 20% honey water supply,which was the shortest(1.4±0.1 days for female and 13.8±2.5 days for male)at 30℃ without food supply.The longevity of female was longer than that of male under the same conditions.
