Course in Geriatric Nutrition: Care for Health in Old Age

Are you worried about seeing your parents or grandparents eat less? Do you notice weight loss or loss of strength, 'sarcopenia', and don't know how to ensure they are well nourished? Nutrition in later life is a complex challenge. Nutritional needs change, appetite declines, and chronic conditions make it difficult to follow a daily diet.

This course is the definitive guide to geriatric dietetics. We will set aside myths and focus on the science of healthy aging. You will learn how to perform an accurate geriatric nutritional assessment to detect malnutrition risks early in older adults, the silent enemy that rapidly leads to weakness and physical frailty.

We will focus on practical solutions. You will master food texturization for cases of dysphagia 'difficulty swallowing', creating safe and appealing dishes. You will learn to design nutrient dense menus for older adults, securing sufficient protein to fight sarcopenia, the calcium essential for osteoporosis, and always maintaining correct hydration.

Finally, we will address the complexity of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, and how polypharmacy interacts with absorption of key nutrients. At the end, you will have the confidence to give expert nutritional advice, improve the nutritional status of your loved ones or patients, and promote an older age full of health and vitality.
