In a vicious cycle, poor nutritional health leads to acute and chronic disease, and disease states are catastrophic to nutritional health. The magnitude of nutritional depletion from any cause depends to a large extent on the nutritional reserves an individual has accumulated over time. In our increasingly older population, nutritional reserves are

The older population, defined as those 65 years and older, has been steadily increasing as a percentage of the total population since 1900. Currently, it constitutes 13% of the population. The United States Bureau of the Census predicts that the elderly will represent 20% of the U.S. population by 2030. The older population itself is getting older, with greatest percentage increases in the subgroup of elderly over 85 years of age. This segment of the elderly is now 28 times greater in number than in 1900. The aging process is associated with unique medical problems-including declining functional capacities and pbysiological reserves-that have spawned specialization in geriatric medicine. While healthy, free-living elderly appear not much more at nutritional risk than the rest of the population, the elderly who suffer from illness or other stress have a much higher incidence of nutritional prob lems than the population as a whole. Elderly are also more heterogeneous than the general population, resulting in a greater variation in nutritional requirements which requires a better understanding of how nutrition and health interact. This brings nutritional assess ment and care to the forefront of geriatric medical practice.

Abstract: A text for health professionals who care for geriatric patients addresses important factors in the everyday nutritional management of the elderly. Older persons are often at risk of nutritional deficiency; proper nutrition is a critical aspect of preventive medicine and health care of the aged. Diet therapy and assessment of nutritional status are especially relevant for older adults in management of chronic illness. Nutrient needs, RDAs and food consumption in the elderly are considered following a discussion of the aging process and its effect on body systems. Other topics examine nutrition-related health problems; nutrient-drug interactions; dietary supplements; psychological and social forces on food habits and food choices by older persons; and nutrition education for geriatric clients. Suggestions for appropriate food selection, budgeting, marketing, preparation and cooking forone or two persons are given.
