Noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. 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.

Abstract
Noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. 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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
