Abstract:
In old age, the complex relation of food consumption with energy and nutrient requirements finds expression in both single and multiple nutritional problems. Addressing conditions affecting intake -- either from foods or from supplements -- endogenous production, bioefficacy and/or requirements can benefit nutritional health in old age through balancing requirements and supply.
