The rise of life expectancy in current societies is not accompanied, to date, by a similar increase in healthspan,
which represents a great socio-economic problem. It has been suggested that aging can be manipulated and then,
the onset of all age-associated chronic disorders can be delayed because these pathologies share age as primary
underlying risk factor. One of the most extended ideas is that aging is consequence of the accumulation of
molecular damage. According to the oxidative damage theory, antioxidants should slow down aging, extending
lifespan and healthspan. The present review analyzes studies evaluating the effect of dietary antioxidants on
lifespan of different aging models and discusses the evidence on favor of their antioxidant activity as anti-aging
mechanisms. Moreover, possible causes for differences between the reported results are evaluated.
