Abstract
We review the scientific evidence available on nutritional recommendations in the distinct stages of life through 10 key questions relating to dietary modifications throughout the life cycle, namely: how long should breast-feeding last? What are the best methods for promoting breast-feeding? Should soya infant formulas be used to prevent allergic diseases in infants at high risk? Is micronutrient supplementation indicated in infants? How should childhood obesity be prevented? Are there any valid strategies for preventing eating disorders in adolescents? Which type of diet should be recommended in pregnant and breast-feeding women? Should nutritional supplements be used in elderly individuals at risk of malnutrition? Should micronutrient supplements be used in the elderly to prevent or treat degenerative diseases?
