In this study, researchers from the Jagiellonian University Medical College in Poland evaluated the total antioxidant capacity of food intake among the elderly in Krakow, Poland; the contribution of particular food products in Dietary Antioxidant Index (DAI); the consumption of all dietary fats by the elderly; and the frequency of their fats consumption. Their results were published in the journal Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine.
The researchers concluded that the majority of the elderly were making wrong nutritional choices. The enrichment in natural antioxidants from diet and the normalization of fats consumption are important for the primary and secondary prophylaxis of cardiovascular disease.
