The most common NCDs are cancer, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. Nowadays, they represent one of the greatest challenges health systems face worldwide. The increase in the consumption of polyphenol-rich foods could contribute to the reduction of these pathologies, due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulatory, and cardiovascular protective properties, among others. This review aims to highlight some studies carried out in recent years to enhance the possible benefits of a diet rich in polyphenols in the prevention or treatment of NCDs. metadata Armas Díaz, Yasmany; Ferreiro Cotorruelo, Maria Soledad y Battino, Maurizio mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, maurizio.battino@uneatlantico.es (2023) The role of dietary polyphenols in the control of chronic noncommunicable diseases.
