Abstract

Recommendations concerning nutrition and physical activity are an important part of health care in the elderly. There is increasing evidence that diet and exercise influence the development and progression of cardiovascular disease in the elderly as well as the young. Decreases in coronary risk factors can be achieved in the elderly by attention to proper diet and exercise.
