Great research been carried out at UCD promoting the maintenance of optimal dietary intake and physical activity as we age. Such research is crucial as the demogrphics of our population shift towards a more aged population. Knowledge created by such studies will feed into public policy and ulitmately enable us to enjoy a more healthy and independant late life.

The nutrigenomics research team at UCD need your help to investigate the effects of a personalised nutrition and structured physical activity programme on the appetite of older adults.

Great work done last week by our JPI-Appetite - UCD team at UCD. At this stage of the project we were assessing the sensory acceptability of 6 different varieties of our innovative plant-based protein and fibre products. Very grateful to our participants who volunteer their time to help us learn.

Older adults are at higher risk of undernutrition due to key physiological changes in appetite regulation associated with the ageing process. This is further exacerbated by medical conditions, social isolation, and physical inactivity.

Do you know anyone aged 65 years or older that might be interested in trying our innovative plant-based protein and fibre supplement. Your help will enable us to determine which variety would be most accepted by the general public. Share our advert with your Mum, Dad, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents. Helping us will help everyone age more successfully
