“…In contrast, MD includes a low intake of red meat and sweets and moderate consumption of wine at meals [ 42 – 44 ]. Several studies have established the preventing effects of MD against several chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, cancer, mental and psychiatric disorders, aging disorders, and overall mortality [ 45 ].…”

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) constitutes a chronic inflammatory and degenerative demyelinating disease, which can progressively lead to a broad range of sensorimotor, cognitive, visual, and autonomic function symptoms, independently of patient’ age. However, the clinical studies that examine the role of dietary patterns against disease progression and symptomatology remain extremely scarce, especially concerning Mediterranean diet (MD) in the subgroup age of older adults with MS. Aims The present study aimed to investigate the potential impact of MD compliance in disease progression and symptoms severity as well as quality of life and physical activity of community-dwelling older adults with MS. Methods This is a cross-sectional conducted on 227 older adults with no history of other severe disease. Relevant questionnaires were applied to collect sociodemographic and anthropometric factors by face-to face interviews between patients and qualified personnel. Serum biomarkers were retrieved by patients’ medical records. Results Higher MD compliance was independently associated with younger patients’ age, lower risk of overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity, decreased disease progression and higher muscle mass, as well as greater physical activity, better quality of life, and adequate serum ferritin and albumin levels Conclusions MD may exert beneficial effects in older adults with MS. Future strategies and policies are highly recommended to inform both the general population and the older patients with MS for the beneficial effects of MD in preventing MS and in improving or even slowing down the disease progression and symptoms severity of MS.

“…Unhealthy eating behaviors, poor dietary status, and imbalanced food choices are modifiable risk factors for various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) [ 12 , 13 ]. Conversely, maintaining healthy diet habits can prevent age-related chronic diseases and promote healthy aging [ 14 , 15 ]. During the era of personalized nutrition, the global trend towards adopting westernized dietary patterns reflects a deficiency in nutritional health knowledge, leading to a rise in major chronic diseases within certain populations and hindering the promotion of healthy aging [ 16 ].…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate the current status and influencing factors of healthy diet knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among middle-aged and older adults aged 45–75 in Southwest China. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1822 middle-aged and older adults in Southwest China (including Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Chongqing) from February to May 2021. Results The average score of healthy diet knowledge was (4.82 ± 2.98), with a passing rate of 7.6%. The mean score of healthy diet attitude was (21.26 ± 4.18), with a passing rate of 69.5%. The average score of healthy diet practice was (13.76 ± 2.84), with a passing rate of 55.5%. The score for healthy diet KAP was (39.85 ± 7.21), with a passing rate of 41.2%. Univariate analysis showed that the scores of healthy diet KAP were significantly different among participants of different ages, genders, ethnicities, residences, education levels, monthly household incomes, and regions, as well as varying according to whether several generations have lived in the same area (p < 0.05). The results of multiple linear regression showed that the healthy diet KAP of participants was influenced by age, gender, residence, education level, monthly household income, and region (p < 0.05). Conclusion The healthy diet KAP of middle-aged and older adults aged 45–75 in Southwest China shows room for improvement. The knowledge regarding healthy diet was relatively low, and certain specific healthy diet practices were not up to the standard. However, there was a positive trend in the attitude towards a healthy diet. Healthy diet education should be promoted for middle-aged and older adults.

“…5 Relevance to a healthy dietary habit and effective nutritional management have been closely associated with a diminished susceptibility to agerelated chronic diseases and premature mortality. 6,7 The anti-oxidant-rich properties of diet play a crucial role in counteracting ROS, mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage, and promoting healthy aging. 8,9 The determination of Dietary oxidative balance score (DOBS) entailed the summation of scores allocated to dietary pro-oxidant and antioxidant factors, making it an ideal indicator for evaluating the impact of diet on oxidative stress.…”
