Abstract

Background: From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, micronutrients were associated with the concept of healthy aging and it was deemed as important to recognize eating lifestyles that better involved these healthy macronutrients.

Methods: The present integrative differencing literature review aimed to identify correlations between healthy longevity and both the Mediterranean (MD) and the Japanese diet (JD).

Results: A review of the primary and secondary literature was performed by consulting Embase and Medline (PubMed) databases. The bibliographic research focused on the critical reading of the studies in the last ten years. A total of 10 studies, 3 belonging to Embase and 7 to PubMed, were finally included, which exhaustively agreed with the inclusion criteria considered.

Conclusion: In all manuscripts selected, “over” elderly participants reported good adherence to both Mediterranean and Japanese eating behaviours, acceptable anthropometric characteristics, active social life, and regular physical activity.
