Conclusion
The symposium presents studies linking diet, olfactory function, supplementation, and mitochondrial energetics to frailty and functional decline in older adults.
Supporting Evidence
- An inflammatory diet is linked to increased odds of frailty in individuals with depressive symptoms.
- Olfactory impairment may serve as a biomarker and risk factor for frailty in older adults.
- GlyNAC supplementation improves various aging-related health markers in older adults.
- Mitochondrial energetics in skeletal muscle are associated with leg power and cardiorespiratory fitness.
Takeaway
This study looks at how things like diet and smell can affect how strong and healthy older people are.
