Purpose: To identify the correlation between the five major diseases (hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, osteoporosis, and diabetes) and nutrient intake in the elderly (aged ≥ 65 years) and provide basic data to help members of this nutritionally vulnerable population better manage nutrition and prevent diseases. Methods: Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted on those aged ≥ 65 who participated in the 8th 2021 National Health and Nutrition Survey. Results: Hypertension was significantly associated with protein, linolenic acid, γ-linolenic acid, and vitamin E intakes (p<0.05), dyslipidemia with iron, vitamin A, and β-carotene intakes (p<0.05). Stroke was significantly associated with energy, carbohydrate, fat, capric acid, myristic acid, arachidic acid, lignoceric acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid intakes (p<0.05), whereas osteoporosis was significantly associated with docosadienoic acid and calcium intakes (p<0.05). Finally, diabetes was significantly associated with lauric acid, myristoleic acid, stearidonic acid, diphomo-γ-linolenic acid, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamin B3 intakes (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nutrients were found to have different effects on the five major diseases of old age, which prevented our determining the effects of individual nutrients on these diseases. This study contributes to understanding of the relationships between nutrients and the five major diseases of old age. Continuous research is needed on this topic.
