Preferred term

nutrition, malnutrition, and feeding issues  

Definition

  • Nutrition is a fundamental necessity with special considerations in the older adult. Maintaining adequate nutrition is essential to healthy aging, yet this population is at high risk for malnutrition and undernutrition, primarily because of physiological and social changes that transpire over the course of their lives. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health & Aging; Nutrition, Malnutrition, and Feeding Issues]
