AnnotationIll health in old age can diminish pleasure in eating and, compounded by other factors, can lead to a malnourished state with its associated risks. In this monograph, the focus is on the management of malnutritional problems arising from common causes of ill health in older people, such as dementia, cancer, stroke and trauma. Specific issues are also considered concerning the organisation and delivery of an efficient nutrition service in both acute and primary care. (RH).
