Maintaining a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods was linked to a higher likelihood of healthy aging.
Healthy aging is defined as reaching age 70 free of major chronic diseases and with cognitive, physical, and mental health maintained.
Researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health , University of Copenhagen , and University of Montreal examined 105,000 women and men ages 39-69 over the course of 30 years .
The researchers noted that replicating the study among populations with diverse socioeconomic statuses and ancestries would offer further insights into the findings' generalizability.
Other Harvard Chan co-authors included Fenglei Wang , Heather Eliassen , Jorge Chavarro , Jun Li , Liming Liang , Walter Willett , Qi Sun , and Meir Stampfer .
