A new FENS conference report has published today in the Journal of Nutritional Science<\/em> looking at the role of Nutrition in Healthy Ageing: \u2018From lifespan to healthspan: the role of Nutrition in healthy ageing\u2019.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Council for Responsible Nutrition-International (CRN-I), the international arm of the U.S.-based Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), has published two conference reports: \u201cFrom Lifespan to Healthspan: The Role of Nutrition in Healthy Ageing\u201d in the Journal of Nutritional Science (JNS) and \u201cMeasuring Health Promotion: Translating Science into Policy\u201d in the European Journal of Nutrition (EJoN). These reports comprise expert perspectives from the CRN-I session held at the Federation of European Nutrition Societies (FENS) 2019 meeting and CRN-I\u2019s own 2019 symposium, held in conjunction with the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FENS report, \u201cFrom Lifespan to Healthspan: The Role of Nutrition in Healthy Ageing,\u201d focuses on the impact of nutrition within the World Health Organization Global Strategy and Action Plan on Ageing and Health framework, taking a person-centered approach to healthy ageing, emphasizing the need to better understand an individual\u2019s intrinsic capacity (i.e., their physiological and psychological capabilities and behaviors) and their functional abilities (i.e., the health-related attributes that enable them to be and to do what they have reason to value) at various life stages. \u201cGlobally, we\u2019ve seen a marked increase in longevity, but major inequalities persist and are exacerbated by inadequate access to proper nutrition and healthcare services, and to reliable information to make nutrition and healthcare-related decisions,\u201d James C. Griffiths, Ph.D., co-author and senior vice president, International and Scientific Affairs, CRN, observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, many people from both economically developing and developed societies are doubly plagued by energy excess and under-nutrition\u2014too many empty calories. This has resulted in mental and physical deterioration, increased non-communicable disease rates, lost productivity, increased medical costs and reduced quality of life. While adequate nutrition is fundamental to good health at all stages of the life-course, the impact of diet on prolonging good quality of life during ageing remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrowing evidence demonstrates that access to better nutrition, improved immunity and response to disease, functioning senses\u2014sight, taste, smell\u2014and mobility, as well as the ability to recover physically and mentally, or even maintain wellness, when faced with stressors, may enhance how individuals age,\u201d said Dr. Griffiths. \u201cThis evidence highlights the need for innovative research on dietary interventions to improve healthy ageing, with validated, widely accepted and quantitative biomarkers responsive to lifestyle-based interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CRN-I symposium report, \u201cMeasuring Health Promotion: Translating Science into Policy,\u201d complements the FENS report, taking a deeper dive into health promotion and health literacy, appropriate nutritional study design and the role the human microbiome plays in promoting health and alleviating disease. \u201cThe nutrition science community must set credible recommendations and communicate those in a way that the public will adopt,\u201d Daniel Marsman, D.V.M., Ph.D., immediate past chair, CRN-I, and Director of Global Product Safety, P&G Health Care. \u201cThe WHO Global Strategy and Action Plan is a framework for strong progress advancing the benefits of nutrition on healthy aging. Nutrition messaging must be based on appropriate scientific evidence and communicated in a way that encourages people to adopt healthier dietary habits, balancing calorie intake with nutrient density, and lifestyles with increased physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption, smoking cessation, and stress reduction, to benefit the individual and society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports from past CRN-I symposia are published in the European Journal of Nutrition (2011\u20132019) and in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology (2010), with translations in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, available on the CRN-I website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CRN-I will be holding a series of webinars in lieu of its annual in-person symposium normally held in conjunction with CCNFSDU meeting. Details will be coming to the CRN-I website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
