Senior Nutrition Dangers

Warning: senior nutrition dangers - So how do you know if a senior's diet is a healthy one? Check out the 10 warning signs that your loved one is not eating a nutritious diet.

Many issues can contribute to a senior's inability to achieve a healthy diet, says Dr. Nadine Sayhoun, associate professor of Nutrition and Food Science at the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

"There are many challenges to eating well and these include loss of appetite, memory problems, dental health and use of certain medications."

Research by Dr. Sahyoun on hospital-discharged older adults who qualify for home-delivered meals showed that 80 percent of those individuals who were recruited in the study had food in their kitchens, but they were unable to shop or use that food for cooking.

"Without good nutrition, health can deteriorate very quickly, making seniors more susceptible to disease and infection," Dr. Sahyoun warns. "And without intervention, malnutrition can result in a downward trajectory leading to poor health and mortality."
