It is estimated that until 2030, 25 to 40% of the European population will be over 65 years old. This high percentage of elderly compels policy makers and scientists to develop strategies to cope with this shift in the demography of the European society and its consequences. NU-AGE aims to improve health and quality of life of the ageing population by counteracting inflammaging using a whole diet approach. Results of the project will be presented on 5 April 2016 at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (KVAB) “Auditorium Albert II” (Hertogsstraat 1, Brussels). The objective of NU-AGE was to learn more about the effect of not just one nutrient on age-related decline, but the effect of a whole diet, which includes different nutrients. This not only leads to targeting more vulnerable processes involved in inflammation and ageing, but also enables to studying the synergy of multiple subtle effects. The results of the dietary intervention have been used to develop prototypes of functional foods for elderly and have also been used to improve traditional foods which will be presented at the conference.The NU-AGE Final Conference offers an opportunity to better understand the nutritional needs for an improved quality of life in the over 65 years-EU population. In particular, the conference will give information on the main cellular and molecular pathways that can modulate the body response to nutrition and present new functional food prototypes and elderly-tailored foods, developed within NU-AGE, that will increase the competitiveness of the EU food industry.The NU-AGE project has received funding from the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) of the European Union, grant agreement n. 266486.
