Overview:

Older adults are vulnerable to poor nutrition due to the physiological changes of normal aging, as well as effects of chronic illness, and social, economic, and environmental challenges that frequently accompany aging. Older adults with under nutrition are more likely to have poor outcomes, complications, and functional decline. This show will provide some useful tips to help older adults maintain good nutrition during health and illness.

Article on addressing malnutrition in older adults:

3 Key Points:

1. Weight loss (both intentional and unintentional) in older adults is accompanied by a loss of muscle and a loss of muscle can lead to functional decline. Overweight and obese older adults can also lose muscle if they do not add weight bearing exercise to their routine.
2. The “tea and toast syndrome” is not part of a healthful diet for older adults, and protein should be a part of each meal.
3. Food is medicine, especially when older adults transition from hospital to home. There may be insufficient food available in the home upon hospital discharge, and/or the newly discharged elder may be too weak to shop, cook, and prepare meals for him/herself. New transitional care models associated with health care reform need to emphasize the importance of food and nutrition during the critical transition periods. All health care providers and family caregivers should be alert for risk factors for poor nutrition during the transition from hospital to home.
