Abstract

The role of nutrients in the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is reviewed. Diseases such as osteoporosis, arterial hypertension, dementia, visual impairment and others are sensitive to a deficiency of certain macro and micronutrients, while their progression is accelerated. The role of micronutrients such as vitamin D, B vitamins, carotenoids, as well as lutein, omega-3 fatty acids in slowing the development of NCDs with age has been noted. The data on the effect of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet on blood pressure levels are presented. It is indicated that the greatest effect of nutritional interventions is more pronounced in populations with low baseline intake of these nutrients.
