    Malnutrition in Older Adults: The Hidden Threat to Healthy Longevity

    Malnutrition affects approximately 20% of older adults globally, rising to over 20% in the Americas, with hospitalized or nursing home residents reaching 50% prevalence. It significantly increases mortality risks through conditions like sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia, which are linked to muscle loss, falls, and fractures. Causes include reduced appetite, sensory changes, dental issues, medications, chronic health conditions, and meal preparation difficulties.
