The European Commission in support of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing has published a report aiming at reviewing the contribution of diet and nutrition in increasing healthy life years and promoting active and healthy ageing (AHA). The report gives a description of the key determinants of AHA including economic, social and behavioural contributions and how they can be related to diet. It focuses on the issue of undernutrition in older people both as a cause and consequence of functional decline. Finally, the report summarises the evidence on key micronutrient supplementations in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases and conditions.
