TLDR Proper nutrition and vitamins can boost the immune system and overall health in older adults.

The document discusses the importance of proper nutrition and vitamins in old age, particularly as immune modulators. It highlights that aging leads to various physiological, psychological, and immunological changes that affect nutritional status. Vitamins D, C, and E, along with omega-3 fatty acids, play crucial roles in enhancing immune response, visual acuity, and reducing inflammation. The study emphasizes the need to reduce saturated fat intake and opt for healthier fat sources. It also notes that up to 71% of older adults in acute hospitalization are nutritionally vulnerable or malnourished, increasing their mortality risk. Proper nutrition can help mitigate issues like edema, anemia, and low resistance to infections in the elderly.
