There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in the interactions of nutrition and health as part of the aging process. This interest is due to the important role that nutrition plays throughout the life span. This role affects the growth and development of the body during childhood, affects the risk of acute and chronic diseases, the maintenance of physiological processes and the biological process of aging. A major aim of 'The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging' is to contribute to the improvement of knowledge regarding the relationships between nutrition and the aging process from birth to old age.
