This review reports on the state of knowledge relating to availability of nutrition survey data for older people relating to prevalence of frailty and sarcopenia in Asia, using data from Netherlands for comparison. Data were obtained from a meeting of a group of nutrition experts from Asia supplemented by literature search using key terms of nutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia. Although nutrition surveys may be carried out regularly in several countries, surveys are mainly carried out for the general adult population rather than specifically among the elderly population, and little data is available relating to the impact of nutrition on sarcopenia and frailty. There is an urgent need for more nutritional data relating to maintaining function with age as opposed to disease prevention, to guide health promotion policies and clinical management of increasingly older population and patients. A shift in the gathering of national nutrition data may need to include such functional measurements in relation to older people, as the latter forms the rapidly growing sector of ageing populations world-wide.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36555,"journal":{"name":"Translational Medicine of Aging","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 125-131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.tma.2019.11.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55175667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances across scientific areas, such as high throughput “-omics” approaches, have led to an exponentially increasing quantity of data available for biogerontologists. To best translate the lifespan and healthspan extending interventions discovered by basic scientists into preventative medicine, it is imperative that the current data are comprehensively utilized to generate testable hypotheses about translational interventions. Building a translational pipeline for geroscience will require both systematic efforts to identify interventions that extend healthspan across taxa and diagnostics that can identify patients who may benefit from interventions prior to the onset of an age-related morbidity. Databases and computational tools that organize and analyze both the wealth of information available on basic biogerontology research and clinical data on aging populations will be critical in developing such a pipeline. Here, we review the current landscape of databases and computational resources available for translational aging research.
