Abstract:
Nutrition in the older person is complex because of changing physiology, changes caused by multiple chronic diseases, changes induced by pharmacologic agents, and commonly, failing protein/caloric intake. This article is designed to explain the mechanisms of these processes and to suggest pragmatic and practical responses in the management of the older patient.
