Final NutriAging Meeting and 2nd Summer School

28.12.2022

After more than 5 years the NutriAging EU project came officially to an end.

On 20th of September we had our 2nd NutriAging Summer School. One day later we conducted the final meeting in a hybrid format. Researcher from Austria came to Bratislava to participate in the meeting onsite.

The Interreg SK-AT supported NutriAging project started in 2017 with 2 main teams in Bratislava and Vienna. Our aim was manifold such as:

to improve the quality of life by raising awareness of healthy nutritional needs, which will contribute to the prevention of ''unhealthy'' aging

to reduce the incidence of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus and mental disorders (depressive disorder, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's) in the cross-border region, and reduce the cost of healthcare associated with aging

in the research section to monitor the impact of selected nutrients (vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and proteins) on the health of the elderly

to identify markers of ''healthy'' physical and mental aging

to train the elderly of today and tomorrow as well as health care professionals and nursing staff about the role of nutrition in healthy aging.

After 5 years and several in vitro and in vivo studies we could generate manifold data sets to increase the knowledge on the aging process and the impact of our diet and physical activity to improve the initial conditions of the target group.
