摘要
As the population of aging persons increases, the nutrition and health concerns of the elderly take on growing importance. Changes in physiology, metabolism, and function translate into distinct nutrient requirements for older persons. Better understanding of the aging process and knowledge of nutritional screening, assessment, and interventions can guide practitioners to deliver the best possible care for their older patients.
