Coffee and Tea Group Contribute the Most to the Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity of Older Adults: A Population Study in a Medium-Sized Brazilian City.

We concluded that the older adults studied had a relatively low dietary TAC consumption. The coffee and tea were the food group that contribute the most to the dietary TAC. Our data show the need to implement national strategies aimed at improving the quality of the diet of older adults. We highlight the need to increase the consumption of different food groups and, consequently, the intake of different compounds with antioxidant capacity, which will contribute to a better dietary TAC with possible positive health effects.
