Bodily changes and medication effects put older adults in danger of malnutrition.

On this NPT Aging Matters clip, at 97 years old, Madeline is proud of her age and that she still lives in her own home, eating her own food. But like many older adults, she finds eating more of a chore and less pleasurable that it once was. Changes in our bodies and our senses, as well as the effects of medications, are among the factors putting older adults in danger of malnutrition.
