STEP 11 - APPETITE AND WEIGHT

broken image

Seniors can face problematic weight issues as they get older due to appetite loss, or conversely, overeating. Both can bring about health issues and put a strain on the body that can be difficult to manage.

Appetite loss can be due to a health condition, medications, lack of energy, dehydration, inability to prepare meals, or a loss of interest in food due to changing taste buds, low mood, or altered cognitive ability. Weight loss can occur if a lack of appetite is ongoing.

Weight gain can also occur due to a health condition, medications, lack of exercise or inability to exercise, or low mood.
