Nutrition in Aging

A diet rich in nutrients and antioxidants is linked to the prevention of cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Early vascular aging is linked to an increased risk of premature mortality related to cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal diseases. Malnutrition is associated with accelerated aging. Furthermore, insufficient intake of nutrients may lead to frailty, anemia, and impaired cognition. With advanced age and concomitant comorbidities, proper nutrition is even more important for supporting healthy aging, and nutrition is a part of secondary and tertiary prevention of different diseases that accompany aging. This Article Collection contains original research articles and reviews of genetic, metabolic, clinical, and epidemiological studies related to nutrition in aging.
