Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Population aging is one of the primary challenges facing contemporary societies, with profound implications for public health, the economy, and quality of life. In this context, healthy lifestyles are essential strategies to promote healthy aging and mitigate the adverse effects of biological aging.
Scientific evidence has shown that lifestyle modifications in factors such as diet and physical activity have the potential to reduce the risk of age-related disorders, disabilities, or chronic diseases that promote increased physical and/or cognitive frailty. Multimodal interventions on diet, physical activity or exercise, sleep, etc., are used to promote healthy aging; however, there is still a lack of evidence on the efficacy and mechanisms of multimodal interventions on age-related conditions and disorders such as frailty and sarcopenia, cognitive impairment, and chronic diseases.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, "Healthy Diet, Physical Activity and Aging", aims to submit original research and literature reviews on these topics.
With a sustained increase in lifespan, understanding and promoting the synergies between a healthy diet and physical activity is crucial to changing the paradigm of aging, taking a preventive rather than a reactive approach. These interventions can improve longevity and preserve quality of life and autonomy in older people.
