The average life expectancy has increased worldwide in the  recent decades. This has presented new challenges as old age brings the  onset of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders,  cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis,  stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease. Studies and research have shown the  potential preventive and therapeutic roles of antioxidants in aging and  age-related diseases by inhibiting the formation or disrupting the  propagation of free radicals and thus increasing healthy longevity,  enhancing immune function, and decreasing oxidative stress. This has  made an antioxidant rich diet of increasing importance in battling the  detrimental effects of the aging process.

“The Role of Antioxidants in Longevity and Age-Related Diseases” is  the book that compiles research on antioxidants and their biological  mechanisms that mediate age-related diseases. This book covers the major  issues linked to antioxidants, aging, and age-related diseases,  including changes in organ systems over the lifespan, age-related  oxidative stress-induced redox imbalance, inflammaging, implications of  inflammation in aging and age-related diseases, and the important role  of antioxidant-rich foods in their prevention and treatment of various  age-related diseases. 

For researchers seeking a  comprehensive single source on antioxidants and their roles in aging and  age-related diseases, this novel text provides an up-to-date overview.
