Nutrition, Activity, & Quality of Life

2001

PAN commissioned an authoritative review of current scientific research regarding the contributions of physical activity and nutrition to enhanced quality of life for older adults. In February 1999, a workshop was hosted by ILSI PAN to bring together a panel of internationally recognized authors to finalize the Commissioned Papers drafts, build a summary outline, and identify future follow-up projects and needed research. The topics of the resulting papers include:
  1. Changes in physical and dietary patterns with age.
  2. Physical activity, nutrition, and quality of life in older adults.
  3. Interventions to promote physical activity and healthy dietary patterns in older adults.
  4. A summary and recommendations chapter authored by the co-editors.
This set of papers is published in the Journal of Gerontology.
