Healthy eating: A cross-cultural analysis of the social and nutritional conditions of aging in the Czech Republic, Iceland, and Spain

NUTRIAGE aims to initiate an exploratory study on healthy aging across geographically, socio-economically and environmentally different countries such as the Czech Republic, Iceland, and Spain. By forming an inter-university consortium, NUTRIAGE will analyse how the relationship between nutrition, health and environment/context is articulated in older adults, considering their general living situations and the social determinants that condition access to adequate food.

                                                                

The NUTRIAGE project contributes to understanding healthy aging by examining the relationship between nutrition, health, and the environment in older adults across diverse geographic and socioeconomic contexts. It supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by addressing systemic barriers to adequate nutrition. SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) is advanced by improving health outcomes for older adults through public health strategies. The project promotes SDG 4 (Quality Education) by fostering education on nutrition and aging and supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality) by encouraging women's participation in research. It also addresses SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by promoting sustainable living environments. Lastly, global collaboration strengthens SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
