Dietary Micronutrient Adequacy and Risk of Multimorbidity in Community-dwelling Older Adults

Veronica Vega-Cabello et al.

Summary: This study found a prospective association between dietary micronutrient adequacy and multimorbidity among community-dwelling older adults. Participants with higher dietary micronutrient adequacy had a lower risk of developing multimorbidity.

Estimating the serum folate concentration that corresponds to the red blood cell folate concentration threshold associated with optimal neural tube defects prevention: A population-based biomarker survey in Southern India

Amy Fothergill et al.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the serum folate insufficiency threshold corresponding to the RBC folate threshold for NTD prevention and examine how this threshold is modified by vitamin B12 status. The findings suggest that the serum folate threshold may not be appropriate in populations with high prevalence of vitamin B12 insufficiency.

Nutritional intake and malnutrition in institutionalised and non-institutionalised older adults

Teresa Madeira et al.

Summary: The study found that high energy intake was associated with a lower risk of malnutrition in institutionalised and non-institutionalised older adults. In NH residents, the intake of carbohydrates, fat, fibre, vitamin C, Na, K, and Mg was inversely associated with malnutrition risk, while in community-dwellers, protein, fat, vitamin B-6, folates, Na, K, Ca, and Mg intake were inversely associated.

Malnutrition-Sarcopenia Syndrome and Self-Management Behaviors in Continuing-Care Retirement Community Residents

Murad H. Taani et al.

Summary: Malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome (MSS) may increase the risk of disability, frailty, and mortality in older adults. This study found that excessive sedentary behavior is associated with a higher risk of MSS, while having high expectations regarding aging is associated with a lower risk of MSS. Therefore, MSS screening should be conducted for older adults living in continuing care retirement communities, and targeted self-management interventions should be implemented to prevent and mitigate the negative outcomes of MSS.

The Potential Roles of Probiotics, Resistant Starch, and Resistant Proteins in Ameliorating Inflammation during Aging (Inflammaging)

Dwina Juliana Warman et al.

Summary: Aging is often associated with biological and physiological changes, such as inflammaging and dysbiosis. Probiotics and prebiotics play a crucial role in maintaining gut health and reducing inflammation during aging.

Interconnections between Inflammageing and Immunosenescence during Ageing

Thibault Teissier et al.

Summary: Acute inflammation is necessary for healing, but chronic inflammation is harmful. Inflammageing refers to age-associated chronic inflammation, which is not solely caused by chronological age, but also by biological ageing and increased mortality risk. Cellular senescence and immunosenescence are also involved in inflammageing. This review explores the sources and consequences of inflammageing, focusing on the contribution of cellular senescence and alterations in the ageing immune system. It also discusses potential interventions to reduce inflammageing and improve later life health.

A Systematic Review Examining Contributors to Misestimation of Food and Beverage Intake Based on Short-Term Self-Report Dietary Assessment Instruments Administered to Adults

Clare Whitton et al.

Summary: Errors in self-reported food and beverage intake can affect the accuracy of dietary intake data. This review systematically identifies, quantifies, and compares contributors to error in estimated intake of foods and beverages. The findings emphasize the need for consistent reporting of error contributors and measures of variation.

Maeve Lorraine O'Connell et al.

Summary: This study highlighted the prevalence of malnutrition and dietary inadequacies among older adults living in Irish communities. Gender differences were observed in dietary intake, with males showing higher rates of excessive sugars, snacks, and fats intake, while females exhibited reduced intake of vitamins C and D with age. Strategies to improve dietary quality and micronutrient intake in older adults are necessary for their overall health and well-being.

Immunosenescence and inflammaging in the aging process: age-related diseases or longevity

Aurelia Santoro et al.

Summary: The article discusses the changes in the immune system and inflammation during aging, and how they impact diseases and longevity in older people. Centenarians serve as a model for studying age-related changes in the immune system, showcasing an improved ability to adapt and remodel in response to harmful stimuli. Inflammaging is considered an adaptive process that can trigger anti-inflammatory responses to counteract age-related pro-inflammatory environments.

An improved method for the separation of carotenoids and carotenoid isomers by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Shuang Li et al.

Summary: Carotenoids are complex compounds composed of highly conjugated isoprene units that are difficult to identify and quantify due to their extreme hydrophobicity. A new method using a C18 column and isopropanol as eluent successfully separated 23 carotenoid standards and differentiated three groups of isomeric carotenoids. The methodology showed improved compatibility with different categories of carotenoids and the ability to resolve isomeric carotenes, crucial for both assessing carotenoid species and tracing their metabolic pathways.

Kirsty M. Porter et al.

Summary: Older adults with atrophic gastritis (AG) and/or higher doses of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are at increased risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency indicators. Regular consumption of fortified foods is associated with improved vitamin B-12 status, but additional vitamin B-12 supplementation may be needed for those with AG.

Summary: Vitamin B6 is a crucial coenzyme involved in over 150 biochemical reactions in the human body, playing a role in metabolism and cellular signaling. It acts as an antioxidant and is capable of reducing advanced glycation end products. Deficiency in Vitamin B6 may be associated with diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and the prognosis of COVID-19.
