Nutrition and Aging Addressing Specific Issues for Optimal Prevention, Screening, and Care in Older Adults

Dear Colleagues,

As populations age globally, optimizing health and well-being in older adults has become a critical priority. This Special Issue explores the pivotal role of nutrition in aging, focusing on how tailored dietary strategies can prevent, screen, and manage age-related conditions. It offers a comprehensive overview of the key issues related to aging and nutrition, including the impact of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. We will highlight innovative approaches to nutritional interventions, particularly those aimed at improving immune function, cognitive health, and mobility in older adults. Additionally, the issue will delve into the challenges of assessing nutritional status in this demographic and the need for personalized care plans. The collection of articles also emphasizes the importance of integrating nutrition into public health policies and clinical guidelines for older adults.

By addressing these critical factors, this special issue aims to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that will inform best practices in the prevention, screening, and care for the aging population, with the ultimate goal of promoting healthier, more active aging.
