Nutrition and Healthy Ageing in Asia: A Systematic Review

This publication reviewed several prospective cohort studies that evaluated the associations of intake of a single food or consumption of a single nutrient at midlife; adherence to various dietary patterns at midlife; and improved adherence to dietary patterns from mid- to late life with the likelihood of healthy ageing and its components, including cognitive function, physical function, and depression.

This study analyzed data from female participants aged 10 to 18 in the nationally representative Vietnam General Nutrition Survey 2020. Collected data included blood-based nutritional biomarkers, anthropometric measurements, and sociodemographic information. The analysis explored associations between nutritional status and MNDs, with specified outcomes assessed for anemia, iron deficiency (ID), iron deficiency anemia, low serum zinc, low serum retinol, and overall MND prevalence.

Understanding the status of the Philippine food system is vital in identifying pathways to improve sustainable nutrition security in the country. The study quantitatively examined the sustainability status of the Philippine food system using the Sustainable Nutrition Security (SNS) metrics.
The country's food system obtained low scores for resilience, food nutrient adequacy, ecosystem stability, and food safety, while better scores were obtained for sociocultural wellbeing, food affordability and availability, and waste and loss reduction. The Philippine food production and supply face important challenges in diversification, coupled with socioeconomic disparities. Potential convergence points among relevant stakeholders were identified to improve the diversity of the food supply chain and to develop the overall resilience of the Philippine food system.

A systematic review was conducted on the efficacy of interventions to improve physical activity. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were scanned for eligible studies published from 1978 to August 2021, resulting in a total of 52 relevant studies for review. The Downs and Black checklist was used as a quality assessment tool for risk of bias assessment. The 52 studies were then broadly categorised into three major approach types: informational, behavioural and/or social, as well as direct. Within each major approach, studies were further sub-categorised into more specific intervention types before being assessed for their efficacy and applicability. Overall, the intervention types that seemed to be the most efficacious in increasing physical activity levels were those that involved home-based information provision, community-wide campaigns, incentivised change, individually adapted health behaviour programs, family-based social support interventions and the provision of self-monitoring tools. However, the results must be interpreted holistically, as many of the successful interventions included more than one approach type and success is likely contingent on effectively addressing several concurrent facets.
