Updated and revised throughout, with a focus on clinical aspects, this multidisciplinary work presents up-to-date clinical and research findings of the special nutritional requirements of the elderly. The second edition features: helpful guidelines on nutritional assessment and support; practical tips on tailoring diets for patients with specific organ system dysfunction; current management approaches to age-related anorexia and protein-energy malnutrition; diagnosis and treatment of common vitamin and mineral deficiencies; preventative role of nutrition in age associated diseases; nutritional implications of systems malfunction in the elderly in age-related changes in the liver, kidney and gastrointestinal tract; nutritional implications in lipids abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, cancer and cardiac cachexia; and the changing ethical and legal standards of care regarding feeding and hydrating. New topics to this edition include: cancer and malnutrition; falls and nutrition; enteral and parenteral nutrition; nutrition misinformation - health fraud and the elderly population, creation of food fads for profit; and dysphagia.
