The Role of Nutrition in Promoting Healthy Aging: A Systematic Review of Evidence
Abstract
Nutrition plays a crucial role in promoting healthy aging by influencing various physiological processes and reducing the risk of age-related chronic diseases. This systematic review examines the impact of nutrition on healthy aging outcomes, including physical function, cognitive health, and overall well-being, among older adults. Drawing from randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses, the review evaluates the effects of dietary patterns, specific nutrients, and dietary supplements on aging-related outcomes. Furthermore, it discusses the mechanisms underlying the relationship between nutrition and healthy aging and identifies potential dietary strategies for optimizing health and quality of life in older populations.
