Why Appetite May Decrease With Age
A decrease in appetite is common among seniors and can be caused by both physical and emotional factors. Changes in taste, dental health, and digestion may reduce interest in food.
Medications and health conditions can also alter appetite, while changes in daily structure or social interaction may impact motivation to eat regularly.
Supporting balanced nutrition helps seniors maintain strength, independence, and overall wellness as they age.
