Foods and Dietary Supplements in the Prevention and Treatment of
Disease in Older Adults focuses on the ways in which food and
dietary supplements affect the major health problems of aging
adults. Researchers in nutrition, diet, epidemiology, and aging
studies, as well as healthcare providers who work with elderly
patients will use this comprehensive resource as a tool in their
long-term goal of preventing and treating chronic disease within
the elderly. This book brings together a broad range of experts
working on the different aspects of foods and dietary supplements
(vitamins, herbs, plant extracts, etc.) in health promotion and
disease prevention. They have contributed chapters which define a
range of ways in which foods, nutriceuticals, and dietary
supplements prevent disease and promote health in older adults.
They begin by reviewing the medicinal role of foods, herbal, and
dietary supplements in health promotion in older adults, as well as
some of the most commonly used supplements in elder
"self-medication." They review the most recent studies of how
foods, herbal, and dietary supplements are effective in the
prevention and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, and other obesity associated diseases in older adults.
Then they consider alcohol, other drugs, and plant based drugs of
abuse which can adversely affect the health of older adults.
Lastly, they consider foods and dietary supplements in gene
regulation in older adults.
