Session information
Session title: Nutrition and Lifestyle Interventions for Healthy AgingTime and location: TBD
Session chairs: Roger Fielding, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and Hannia Leon, ILSI Mesoamerica.
Objective
This session aims to explore the scientific findings and practical implications surrounding healthy aging, focusing on biomarkers, nutritional strategies, and the gut microbiome. The session will highlight how different approaches-both biological and societal-can enhance the health span of aging populations. It also seeks to raise awareness about sarcopenia, a common age-related condition, and provide insights into strategies for prevention
Line up
- Healthy Ageing: Exploring Biomarkers, Hallmarks, and Nutritional Strategies- Findings from Multistakeholder Workshop (Philipe de Souto Barreto, Universite Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France)
- Gut Microbiome and Healthy Aging: the case of the Centenarians at the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Gut Microbiome and Healthy Aging: the case of the Centenarians at the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica (Adrian Pinto-Thomas, University of C osta Rica, San José, C osta Rica)
- Raising Awareness of Sarcopenia (Roger Fielding, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University School Of Medicine, Boston)
Background
Healthy Ageing: Exploring Biomarkers, Hallmarks, and Nutritional Strategies-This talk will present insights from a multistakeholder workshop, discussing keybiomarkers and hallmarks of aging, as well as nutritional interventions that can promote healthy aging.
Gut Microbiome and Healthy Aging: the Case of the Centenarians at Nicoya Peninsula-Drawing from the unique population of centenarians in Costa Rica, this talk will explore the relationship between gut microbiota and longevity, presenting research on how the microbiome contributes to healthy aging.
Raising Awareness of Sarcopenia-This final talk will address the growing prevalence of sarcopenia in older adults, underscoring the importance of early detection, prevention strategies, and nutritional interventions to maintain muscle mass and function.

Session information
Session title: Approaches to Nutrient Recommendations and Meal-based Nutrient Profiling System (NPS) in Southeast AsiaTime and location: TBD
Session chair : Prof. Connie Weaver, San Diego State University & Dr Tee E-Siong, Nutrition Society of Malaysia.
Objective
This session will update, highlight and share the approaches and efforts undertaken by the SEA Region with regards to nutrient recommendations and meal-based nutrient profiling system (NPS).
Background
ILSI Southeast Asia Region and FAO pioneered the first regional effort to provide a platform for discussion on recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for the 10 SEA countries between 1997 and 2003. A recent review paper by the Southeast Asia Public Health Nutrition Network (SEA-PHN) (Tee et al., 2023) provided an overview of the available nutrient recommendations in SEA countries, as well as the approaches and scientific principles undertaken by these countries to formulate their own national energy and nutrient recommendations. It recognized that due to limited resources and expertise, there is a lack of original research data within the region to establish nutrient requirements based on original experimental data for the local population. Rather, recommendations were adapted or adopted from key international and renowned research organizations, such as WHO/FAO, FNB-IOM, and EFSA. With new developments and initiatives on the global level to explore and deliberate on ways to provide a uniform and consistent basis for setting nutrient intake (NIV) recommendations across countries through a harmonized process (Pray & Yaktine, 2018; Allen et al., 2020), ILSI SEA Region reconvened a Nutrient Recommendations Working Group ( NRWG) that supports regional and international experts and health agencies representatives to review, discuss and establish consensus on a harmonized science-based approach to recommended nutrients intake for SEA. This effort will also impact the nutrient profiling system within the region, since the setting of nutrient profiles is an exercise that takes into account dietary and nutrient recommendations that are of public health importance..
