Daily multivitamin may help older adults stay independent
Research indicates that daily multivitamin intake may enhance functional health in older adults, with participants showing significantly better scores after three years compared to those on a placebo. This study, involving over 16,000 adults aged 60 and older, suggests that multivitamins could support daily functioning and overall well-being, although they are not a replacement for a balanced diet or exercise. The findings were presented by Bayu B. Bekele at the NUTRITION 2026 conference.
