Nutrition and malnutrition in the elderly nursing home patient
Clin Geriatr Med.
1988 Aug.
Abstract
The impact of chronic illness on nutrient needs in elderly long-term care patients is poorly understood. Nutritional care begins with assessment of malnutrition risk, functional nutrient intake capacity, and physical and laboratory findings. Patient weight, food intake, and laboratory parameters should be monitored. Nutrient intake is often below RDA in these patients, with losses increased by chronic and acute illness.
