Summary

National Autonomous University of Mexico (FES Zaragoza, UNAM) has developed a Multidisciplinary Model of Community Gerontology for Community-Dwelling Older Adults with the aim of training the elderly in self-care, mutual-help and self-promotion related to preventing and controlling chronic diseases that have a high prevalence in old age linked to oxidative stress. The most important findings during the implementation of Model are the following: (i) elderly living in urban areas have higher oxidative stress than rural-elderly, linked at increased risk of deterioration cognitive; (ii) oxidative stress is a risk factor for osteoporosis in the elderly, and the consumption of vitamins C and E may be an adjuvant supplement for the prevention of osteoporosis; (iii) older people healthy without malnutrition, with a balanced diet and calorie restriction between 10 and 20%, showed a lower frequency and degree of DNA damage than people without caloric restriction, and consumption of vitamins C and E for prolonged periods does not prevent or decrease DNA damage; (iv) moderate physical exercise reduce oxidative stress and chronic inflammatory process associated with aging, in particular Tai Chi has higher antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect than the walking.
