Abstract:
Progressive increase of the elderly may well explain the interest to educational programs at this age. Different chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and osteoporosis may be controlled and prevented by proper educational campaigns. In our review, the role of nutritional educational on quality of life has been evaluated, either in healthy subjects or in those with chronic disease. Evaluation tools and outcome index have been described. It is emphasized that applying specific projects may improve nutritional attitudes and lifestyle even in older adults. Proper educational intervention should be implemented, but socio-cultural characteristics of the target population should be taken into account.
