Abstract:
Across the globe, people are living longer, but not necessarily healthier lives. Nutrition can positively impact healthy aging and quality of life (QoL). This scoping review article identifies how the nutrition and QoL research area has evolved in the last 2 decades. It concludes the research on nutrition and QoL among community-living older adults remains underdeveloped and that greater agreement on QoL indices is needed to advance opportunities for further research.
