Abstract
Nutrition is a variable risk factor that may be associated with aging. As individuals age, they may experience various nutritional deficiencies and health issues related to inadequate and excessive nutrition. These can include problems with the musculoskeletal system, diminished immune function, metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline. The World Health Organisation has developed a model of healthy aging that focuses on optimizing many aspects of individuals’ intrinsic ability, such as cognition, psychological well-being, sensory function, vitality, and movement. Milk and dairy foods have the potential to help prevent physical and cognitive decline. Milk and dairy foods play a crucial role in providing a variety of essential nutrients, especially during specific stages of life. Dairy products have a significant opportunity to play a vital role in reducing geriatric malnutrition and the loss of muscle mass, bone strength, and functionality. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the potential health benefits of milk and dairy foods. By examining the evidence of associations between these products and the reduction in the incidence of chronic diseases, this study highlights the potential for older adults to lead longer and healthier lives.
