Is polyphenol intake in elderly people associated with lipid oxidative damage?
This study represents one of the few attempts to date to evaluate the impact of phenol intake on oxidative damage. Flavonoids intake must be promoted to reduce the negative health effects of oxidative stress in elderly people.
The findings of this study need replication in larger samples and on a wider severity scale. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of patients with FEP might impact on treatment. Policymakers should recognize the importance of the diagnostic and outcome assessment in the treatment of severe mental disorders.
