AB  - Adequate  nutrition  is  an  important  part  of  older  adult  health.  However,  nutritional  needs  may  change  with  aging,  and  both  obesity  and  malnutrition  are  prevalent  in  later  life.  Previous  studies  have  reported  that  35%  to  65%  of  hospitalized  geriatric  patients  and  up  to  60%  of  geriatric  residents  in  institutions  suffered  from  malnutrition.  Although  there  has  been  an  increase  in  the  prevalence  of  obesity  in  older  adults  over  the  past  20  years,  obese  older  adults  experiencing  involuntary  weight  loss  lose  lean  mass  and  are  similarly  at  risk  for  functional  decline  and  other  medical  complications  compared  to  nonobese  older  adults.
