Nutritional issues and considerations in the elderly: an update

Nutritional aspects of some common clinical conditions of older age are often neglected. Therefore, the aim of this essay is to describe the prevalence, recognition, and general management of four common and interrelated clinical problems in the elderly: sarcopenia, dysphagia, chronic wounds, and dementia. In the modern era of clinical nutrition tailored to elderly patients, we should encourage a multidimensional personalized approach that includes assessment, counseling, dietary modification, targeted oral nutritional supplements, adjusted physical activity or therapy, and psychosocial support.
