As the older population grows, their changing nutritional needs significantly impact health and quality of life. This review details age-related dietary shifts and practical strategies for nutritional care in seniors.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The global population of older adults is increasing.
  • Nutrition-related issues in seniors negatively affect health, physical function, and overall quality of life.
  • Altered body composition and organ function in aging necessitate modified nutrient requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolving nutritional requirements associated with the aging process.
  • To present practical methods for nutritional screening, assessment, and intervention in older adults.
  • To emphasize the importance of addressing nutritional status in geriatric care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on aging and nutrition.
  • Synthesis of current evidence on age-specific nutritional needs.
