Opis

The 9th International Symposium is the only regular meeting in the bone field to be exclusively devoted to nutrition, bone and muscle, and it allows the authors of this book to review the new scientific data, discuss new concepts, and update the knowledge on several nutrients.
The Symposium provides a unique opportunity to connect health professionals, researchers and industry across many disciplines, including nutrition and dietetics, exercise science, gerontology, nursing, general practice, academia and the food and fitness industry.
Most causes for osteoporosis, like genetics, age, menopause, and associated diseases with their treatments, are not modifiable. The investigation of the influence of nutrition on bone health is important as a key modifiable factor of the development of bone and the prevention of osteoporosis. It is the privilege of this symposium to gather every three years with scientists from all over the world working in this field.

In this book, the authors delve into the latest findings in bone and other tissues including muscle and brain, and discuss the recent evidences of the roles of protein, potassium, B vitamins, vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids and flavonoids on bone and muscle health. The interactions between bone and other conditions such as chronic kidney disease are examined.  Furthermore, the role of nutrition is also reviewed specifically for the prevention of sarcopenia, frailty and their consequences (falls, hip fractures, loss of autonomy) to address the challenges of an aging population.

Nutritional Influences on Bone Health - 9th International Symposium presents the latest scientific data, concepts, and updates on the knowledge of several nutrients. This unique book will be of great interest to health professionals across many disciplines including nutrition and dietetics, gerontologists, nurses, general practitioners as well as anyone in the food and fitness industry.
