%X <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Only a few studies have investigated dietary patterns and intrinsic capacity (IC). This study examined the prospective associations between dietary patterns, IC, and IC sub-domains over 6 years in community-dwelling Korean older adults.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A prospective cohort study.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Data were obtained from participants aged 70-84 years in the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (2016-2022). The study population included 665 enrollees at baseline who completed IC and dietary data.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Dietary data were obtained from baseline surveys of the nutritional sub-cohort using two nonconsecutive 24-hour dietary recalls, and dietary patterns were derived using cluster analysis. IC was constructed by measuring cognitive, locomotor, vitality, sensory, and psychological domains. A generalized estimating equation was used to analyze the longitudinal associations between dietary patterns, IC, and IC sub-domain scores.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>In total, 665 enrollees were included in the analysis. After adjusting for confounders, in older men, the dietary pattern of cluster 1 (variety of healthy foods and alcohols) compared to that of cluster 2 (rice and kimchi) was positively associated with changes in the IC score (ß = 0.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.04-0.78). In older women, the dietary pattern of cluster 1 (variety of healthy foods) was positively associated with changes in the IC score (ß = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.02-0.58), IC score group (ß = 0.11, 95% CI = 0.02-0.20), and psychological domain (ß = 0.25, 95% CI = 0.11-0.38) compared to that of cluster 3 (rice, vegetables, and kimchi).<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Dietary patterns (variety of healthy foods) were positively associated with changes in IC scores and their sub-domains in older adults.
