Abstract
Flavonoids are a group of dietary polyphenols consumed through plant-based foods. Their consumption is
associated with a risk reduction for diseases associated with ageing, including cancers, cardiovascular
diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. Our knowledge on habitual consumption of dietary flavonoids is
inadequate as there are only a few estimations available in the literature. Flavonoid intake is hard to
quantify and methods to estimate flavonoid intake have fundamental limitations, restricting our ability to
correlate flavonoid intake with health outcomes on a population level. The various methods employed to
estimate flavonoid intake are described and evaluated, including dietary assessment and biomarker
analysis. The implications associated with the limitations to each method are outlined and evaluated in light
of research in ageing.
