Geriatric nutrition and healthy aging focus on the dietary needs of older adults to maintain physical health, cognitive function, and quality of life. Proper nutrition plays a vital role in preventing age-related diseases and supporting healthy longevity.
Research in aging metabolism, sarcopenia prevention, micronutrient requirements, and functional foods is improving nutritional care for elderly populations. Personalized dietary approaches are increasingly important in managing age-related health conditions.
This session will highlight advances in geriatric nutrition, including age-specific dietary strategies, chronic disease management, cognitive health nutrition, and approaches to promote healthy and active aging.
