The intention of the Action Plan is to significantly reduce the burden of preventable diet-related noncommunicable diseases, obesity, and all other forms of malnutrition still prevalent in the WHO European Region.
This study examined the cross-sectional associations between clinically diagnosed depression and intakes of antioxidants, fruits, and vegetables in a cohort of older adults.
This article mentions the study’s conclusion about evaluating the total antioxidant capacity of the diet, measured by the ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, in relation to risks of dementia and stroke, as well as key structural brain volumes, in the elderly.
This article mentions the study’s conclusion about the progressive loss of motor function, including parkinsonian signs, which is common in older adults. A diet may contribute to the motor decline. The authors tested the hypothesis that dietary intake of antioxidant nutrients (carotenoids, vitamin E, and vitamin C) is related to the progression of parkinsonian signs in older adults.
This article examines whether using vitamins C and E alone or in combination was associated with a lower incidence of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
