Abstract
- Nutrition can play a role in slowing the aging process and reducing the risk of certain age-related diseases. Loss of bone mineral or muscle mass, osteoporosis, vision impairments such as cataracts, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, and changes in metabolism are all age-related problems that may be treatable through nutritional intervention. This type of research could prove particularly valuable in a country such as Mexico, in which life expectancy is increasing and the elderly segment of the population is expanding dramatically.
