Nutrition and Diet and Anti-aging: Japanese Cuisine and Anti-aging

As society ages, the impact of dementia on society, such as the driving of cars by elderly dementia patients, has become apparent. There is a demand for the development of new treatments for dementia and the timely and appropriate provision of medical care and nursing care, and a multi-institutional collaborative research system called the Orange Registry Study [1] has been established in our country. Subsequently, the Dementia Measures Promotion Outline was established in 2019, advocating for “coexistence” where people can live as themselves in familiar areas even if they have dementia, and working towards “prevention” of dementia. “Dementia prevention” can be said to be an important element from the perspective of anti-aging. In this section, we will focus on dementia prevention and diet.
