Abstract
Due to pathophysiological changes, the risk of micronutrient deficiency in geriatric increased. Currently, dietary intake of vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium was still lower than the recommended dietary reference intake in the elderly. Geriatric micronutrient deficiencies may contribute to the decrease of physiological function, immune function and cognitive function. It may also result in frailty and increase the risk of adverse clinical outcomes. The appropriate supplementation of single or multiple micronutrients can improve physiological function, cognitive function, immune function and frailty, meantime, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and infection. Given there are still no generally accepted standards on the time and method of intervention, population-based randomized controlled studies are needed to provide the basis for promoting healthy ageing.
Key words:
Micronutrient; Elderly; Intervention; Function
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition was founded in 1993. It is the first professional academic journal (bimonthly) in my country co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to disseminate information on clinical nutrition support, nutrient metabolism, the impact of nutrition support on outcomes and "cost-effectiveness", as well as translational medicine and nutrition research. It is also a professional journal of the Chinese Medical Association's Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Branch.
The purpose of the Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition is to promote the rapid dissemination of knowledge on nutrient metabolism and the rational application of parenteral and enteral nutrition, focusing on the combination of multidisciplinary and multi-regional field investigations and clinical research. It mainly reports on nutritional risk screening related to the indications of parenteral and enteral nutrition support, "cost-effectiveness" research on nutritional drugs, consensus on clinical nutrition, guidelines, expert reviews, randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, glycoprotein and other nutrient metabolism research, systematic evaluation of clinical research, evidence-based case reports, special reviews, case reports and clinical experience exchanges, etc., and has a special column on new technologies related to the field of clinical nutrition and their clinical applications.
