Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last century, the life expectancy at birth increased from roughly 45 years in the early 1900s to more than 80 years today.
Indeed, living longer is often related to different levels of frailty. Nevertheless, it is also true that many elderly people maintain good autonomy and live life with a good level of well-being. These subjects do not have serious illnesses or physical disabilities; they have good mental health, preserved cognitive functions, maintain a good level of physical activity levels, and in some cases, are engaged in social and productive activities. A healthy diet and lifestyle are important to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, many of which are age-related.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Featured Reviews on Geriatric Nutrition”, has been developed to compile contemporary research studies on this important topic. We invite you and your collaborators to consider the submission of your original research, protocol development, methodological studies, narrative or systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. We welcome all types of study designs in various populations, including large observational epidemiological studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, clinical and field trials, and qualitative investigations.
Dr. Cristiano Capurso
Guest Editor
