Diet strategies for promoting healthy aging and longevity: An epidemiological perspective

Journal of Internal Medicine, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 295(4), P. 508 - 531

Published: Oct. 23, 2023

Abstract In recent decades, global life expectancies have risen significantly, accompanied by a marked increase in chronic diseases and population aging. This narrative review aims to summarize findings on the dietary factors influencing longevity, primarily from large cohort studies. First, maintaining healthy weight throughout is pivotal for aging mirroring benefits of lifelong, moderate calorie restriction today's obesogenic food environment. Second, specific types or sources fat, protein, carbohydrates are more important disease risk mortality than their quantity. Third, some traditional diets (e.g., Mediterranean, Nordic, Okinawa) contemporary patterns, such as plant‐based diet index, DASH (dietary approaches stop hypertension) diet, alternate eating been associated with lower longevity. These patterns share many common components predominance nutrient‐rich plant foods; limited red processed meats; culinary herbs spices prevalent cuisines) while embracing distinct elements different cultures. Fourth, combining other lifestyle could extend disease‐free 8–10 years. While adhering core principles diets, it crucial adapt recommendations individual preferences cultures well nutritional needs populations. Public health strategies should aim create healthier environment where nutritious options readily accessible, especially public institutions care facilities elderly. Although further mechanistic studies human trials needed better understand molecular effects aging, there pressing need establish maintain long‐term cohorts studying culturally diverse

Assessing diet quality and associated environmental impacts: A cross-sectional analysis in a middle- to older-aged Irish population

Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 458, P. 142189 - 142189

Current dietary patterns have implications for both population and planetary health, giving shifts the potential to reduce these impacts. However, higher quality diets are not inherently of lower environmental impact. This paper examines association between diet quality, defined using Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, Mediterranean (MED) Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2015, impacts among middle- older-aged adults. The cross-sectional analysis used a random sample 1862 males females aged 46–73 years.

Typology of out-of-home eaters: a description of sociodemographic, lifestyle, nutritional and environmental characteristics in the NutriNet-Santé cohort

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 22(1)

Published: May 26, 2025

Abstract Background The out-of-home (OOH) food sector holds the potential to promote healthier and more sustainable diets on a large scale given high number of people eating OOH regularly. However, information about socioeconomic dietary characteristics eaters is limited. This study aimed identify typology consumers by frequency type meal consumed their associated sociodemographic, lifestyle, nutritional, environmental characteristics. Methods Based sub-sample adults French NutriNet-Santé cohort who completed questionnaire consumption habits in 2014 ( n = 29,140, mean age: 53.6 (SD 14.0) years, 74.3% women), we conducted Multiple Factor Analysis followed clustering procedure. AN(C)OVA models were then used examine associations between identified clusters socio-demographic, diet-related (using scores indicators including greenhouse gas emissions, land use energy consumption). Results We five based patterns: Weekday-only (19%), Frequent weekday weekend (24%), Organic (6%), Weekend evening Home-only (32%). younger, likely be professionally active have children at home than other groups. , with highest consumption, had lowest quality impacts consisted mostly younger women higher status. often living urban areas following specific such as vegan or vegetarian ones, best impacts. proportion retired individuals, also showing greater high-income individuals. Conclusions Our findings indicate lower among frequent eaters, whereas those organic showed opposite trends. contributes understanding different consumer could provide basis for further research field. Trial registration was registered ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03335644).

Guidelines to restrict consumption of red meat to under 350 g/wk based on colorectal cancer risk are not consistent with health evidence

Nutrition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 122, P. 112395 - 112395

Published: Feb. 15, 2024

The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations of 2023 (NNR2023) incorporate sustainability, health, and nutrition in their food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs). NNR2023 recommends a consumption ≤350 g/wk unprocessed red meat (RM) based on association with colorectal cancer (CRC). This recommendation is lower than other FBDGs such as the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) it (350-500 g/wk).

Food Compass and the challenge of sustainability on the route towards healthful diets

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Abstract In order to tackle the global increase in overweight and obesity prevalence, several nutrient profiling systems have been developed; among others, Food Compass Score (FCS) has designed encompass multiple domains of food healthfulness. However, environmental sustainability healthy diets is another crucial dimension which should not be overlooked context human health. The aim present study assess association between healthiness items, using FCS Agribalyse databases, respectively. A total 806 matching items were identified, grouped 12 categories; within each category, differences median Z-scores Single Environmental Footprint (EF) assessed. While Fruits, Legumes Nuts, Mixed foods, Meat Poultry Eggs (MPE), Savory Sweets, Vegetables showed statistically significant (all p < 0.001), Beverages (p = 0.361), Dairy 0.092), Fats Oils 0.594), Grains 0.436), Sauce Condiments 0.093), Seafood 0.241) had similar EF distributions. These findings underscore a relevant lack difference healthfulness impact some prominent categories, such as Seafood. Therefore, we suggest with adequate indices.
