Materials and Method: Data on 24-hour dietary recalls of the older adults were obtained from the 2010 and 2017 Türkiye Nutrition and Health Survey databases, which are based on nationally representative sample.
Results: According to Türkiye Nutrition and Health Survey 2017 data, dietary advanced glycation end products intake and daily estimated dietary intake values in the older adults were 12193.73±8773.86 kilounits/day and 168.30±126.40 kilounits/(kg·day), respectively. These values were higher than those reported in the Türkiye Nutrition and Health Survey 2010 data, which were 10391.59±7310.56 kilounits/day and 148.41±110.40 kilounits/(kg·day), respectively (p<0.001). The food groups contributing most to advanced glycation end products intake were fats, meat/meat products, and milk and dairy products.
Conclusion: To reduce dietary advanced glycation end products intake, it is recommended that older adults decrease total fat consumption, prefer low-fat dairy products to full-fat dairy products, use moist heat cooking methods for meat/meat products, and marinate meats with ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar.
