Population aging shows a global rising trend. The World Health Organization (WHO) foresees that 1.2 billion elderly will live on Earth in 2025, two thirds of them in underdeveloped regions . Actual studies have confirmed that most prevailing diseases in adults and/or elderly result from inadequate nutrition, that nutritional risk factors influence aged persons falling ill still in their early years and that risks only accumulate in time and affect synergistically the physiological changes in aging . Also, the WHO experts consider that nutrition risk prevention is a vital investment into the future .
