  • Consensus was reached on critical aspects of nutrition and aging.

    • Implications:

    • Inadequate nutrition significantly contributes to age-related functional loss and disease progression.
    • Nutritional status is multifactorial, influenced by medical, physiological, psychological, social, and situational factors.
    • Promoting adequate nutrition and physical activity is a cost-effective public health strategy to mitigate age-related diseases, with earlier interventions yielding greater benefits.
