Abstract

Report the experience under the "Nutrition and Memory Extension Program (N&M)" in 2021, developed by professors and students at Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). In 2021, N&M offered the internal and external community of UFSC two editions of an online course, also entitled Nutrition and Memory, on Nutrition's specificities in cognitive function during aging. 24 participants from different regions of the country participated in these editions of the course, which enabled N&M to spread its scientific knowledge nationwide, and to achieve positive results from 91.7% of the participants who, at the end of the course, reported adopting dietary practices healthy aiming at aging with autonomy and quality of life. For the executing team, the course delivery in online format added improvement of this teaching method, as well as new knowledge of a specific field of Nutrition to the collaborating students.
