Chinese-modified MIND Diet and subjective well‑being in adults aged 60 years or older in China: a national community-based cohort study.

Objective: Observing the dietary principles of the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has exhibited an association with a diminished occurrence of diverse ailments, enhanced mental well-being, and extended longevity.
