title: Know how vitamins and minerals.
abstract: Key micronutrient requirements in middle age and the elderly 41-70+ years. Some of the common diseases of ageing can be prevented if a nutritionally-adequate diet is eaten during middle age. Physiological, social and economic changes in the lives of older people may cause them to change their dietary habits, which can result in the development of sub-clinical deficiencies.
