| Annotation | Many studies on the relationship of nutrition and ageing have been concerned with efforts to use nutritional interventions to prolong the maximal lifespan. This article reviews investigations on the relationship of nutritional status, as assessed by food intake or biomarkers, to overall mortality or life expectancy. Studies on food intake cover total energy, fat, protein and alcohol intakes, while body mass, serum cholesterol, and serum albumin are the nutritional biomarkers investigated. (RH). |
