Poor Appetite


A reduced desire to eat is common in older people for many reasons including:
  • Altered taste due to medication
  • Reduced taste sensitivity
  • Altered smell and sight
  • Long term illness

A reduced appetite often means a reduction in food eaten which leads to poor nutrition, weight loss and serious health consequences. Furthermore, as less food is eaten appetite further reduces making it increasingly difficult to consume adequate nutrients to maintain health.

If older people are not eating enough food because of a reduced desire to eat, it is important to ensure any food consumed is nutrient dense to provide as much nutrition as possible in a small amount. Dr. MacLeod’s boost and BoostA are ideal.
