In September 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine convened a workshop to examine trends and patterns in
aging and factors related to healthy aging in the United States,
with a focus on nutrition, and how nutrition can sustain and
promote healthy aging, not just in late adulthood, but beginning in
pregnancy and early childhood and extending throughout the
lifespan. Participants discussed the role of nutrition in the aging
process at various stages in life, changes in organ systems over
the lifespan and changes that occur with age related to cognitive,
brain, and mental health, and explored opportunities to move
forward in promoting healthy aging in the United States. This
publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the
workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 Changing
