Abstract：
The global population is on a trajectory of continuous growth, with estimates projecting an increase from 7.7 billion in 2019 to approximately 9.7 billion by 2050. Longevity is also expected to rise rapidly, with advancements in healthcare contributing to increased life expectancies and an increase in the maximum lifespan. The aging process is accompanied by different changes, often leading to a decline in daily life activities and an increased susceptibility to disease. Age-related changes can cause cellular damage and subsequent cellular death. Oxidative stress and inflammation play significant roles in this process contributing to molecular damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Active aging has been associated with improved quality of life and a reduced risk of morbidity and premature mortality. In this context, the Mediterranean diet has emerged as a promising approach to promoting healthy aging and sustainability. The phytochemical compounds within the Mediterranean diet have been linked to a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The findings of peer-reviewed articles regarding the use of the Mediterranean diet as a healthy and sustainable dietary pattern written in Portuguese, Spanish or English were included in this narrative literature review. This dietary pattern\'s emphasis on the consumption of fresh and local food aligns with both health and environmental sustainability goals. This work provides a comprehensive review of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and its components in a healthy aging process and highlights the importance of this dietary pattern as a sustainable approach.
摘要：
全球人口正处于持续增长的轨道上,据估计，到2050年，预计将从2019年的77亿增加到约97亿。长寿也有望迅速上升,随着医疗保健的进步，有助于延长预期寿命和延长最大寿命。衰老过程伴随着不同的变化，通常导致日常生活活动减少和对疾病的易感性增加。年龄相关的变化可导致细胞损伤和随后的细胞死亡。氧化应激和炎症在这一过程中发挥重要作用，导致分子损伤和线粒体功能障碍。主动衰老与生活质量的改善以及发病率和过早死亡率的降低相关。在这种情况下，地中海饮食已成为促进健康衰老和可持续发展的一种有前途的方法。地中海饮食中的植物化学化合物与患心血管疾病的风险较低有关，2型糖尿病,肥胖，癌症和神经退行性疾病。关于使用地中海饮食作为一种健康和可持续的饮食模式的同行评审文章的发现，西班牙语或英语包括在这篇叙述性文献综述中。这种饮食模式强调新鲜和当地食品的消费符合健康和环境可持续性目标。这项工作全面回顾了地中海饮食及其在健康衰老过程中的益处，并强调了这种饮食模式作为可持续方法的重要性。
