In a recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers assessed associations between the intake of flavonoids and flavonoid-rich foods and aging outcomes in older adults.
Aging results from the accumulation of cellular and molecular damage, leading to a gradual reduction in physical and mental capacity, higher disease susceptibility, and death. While life expectancy has increased over time, the proportion of these added years spent in good health has been constant. Identifying the determinants of healthy aging is critical for evidence-based strategies aiming for longer and healthier lifespans.
