The elderly have an increased susceptibility to a number of age-related chronic diseases that may be delayed or ameliorated by nutritional intervention, including cardiovascular diseases, neurologic disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancers. The use of medical therapies tends to escalate with age; thus, dietary interventions to preserve health in the elderly may help to reduce future health care expenditures in this population. Older adults have more complex and more often health problems than other population subgroups. Thus, defining and meeting the unique nutritional needs including vitamins of older adults, in terms of both basal requirements and the prevention or delay of chronic diseases linked to diet, will be an important challenge for the field of nutritional science.
