NuBrain: UK consortium for optimal nutrition for healthy brain ageing

Abstract: With an ageing global population, there is an urgent need to identify effective strategies to maintain brain health across the life course and therein minimise the risk of age-related neurodegenerative disorders reaching a severe stage which may manifest as dementia. An increasing body of evidence indicates that nutrition is a modifiable lifestyle factor that can promote healthy brain ageing and reduce dementia risk. However, at present, little is known about which dietary patterns, foods and food bioactives i… Show more

“…Indeed, these indicate that rather than being harmful, dietary NO 3 − intake is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease risk [102,194] and certain cancers [117]. Furthermore, diets and dietary patterns high in fruits and vegetables are linked to greater longevity [195,196], protection against type 2 diabetes [197] and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [198], and improved cardiovascular [92,199,200] and cognitive health [201,202]. This suggests that higher intake of dietary NO 3 − , at least through plants, is more likely to be associated with health benefits than adverse effects.…”

“…The ageing trajectory is plastic, and may be modulated by dietary and other lifestyle factors [3,4]. One dietary approach that has attracted particular attention in this regard is the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MedDiet), which was characteristic of countries such as Greece, Italy, and Spain in the 20 th century before globalisation of food production, processing and distribution [5].…”

“…Nutriom links research in nutrition, immunity and the microbiota and aims to establish a virtual research centre in nutritional immunology to provide evidencebased guidance and expert leadership to enhance national research capabilities so that researchers can better identify and robustly test key nutritional strategies to support and promote healthy ageing. (2) The NuBrain consortium aims to advance understanding of the complex interactions between nutrition and brain health during ageing, and to develop and test interventions to achieve positive behaviour change that facilitates healthy brain ageing (Stevenson et al, 2020) The second action is the focus of this Virtual Issue of the Nutrition Bulletin. The NRP launched a Call for Nutrition Hot Topic Workshops that would accelerate progress by encouraging new thinking on important challenges in the nutrition field.…”
