Beyond the Plate: Address the Multifactorial Nature of Geriatric Malnutrition

$69.99 Standard

This session will expand on the traditional clinical view of malnutrition to encompass the complex web of factors that contribute to poor nutritional status in older adults. While examining how psychological, social, and environmental elements create barriers to adequate nutrition, the content provides specific nutritional strategies tailored to the physiological changes of aging. Stacey Woodson, MS, RN, LDN will discuss ways to conduct multidimensional assessments that include both traditional nutrition parameters and broader contextual factors. The intervention approaches balance macro and micronutrient considerations with practical implementation strategies, such as food fortification techniques that caregivers can implement at home. Emphasis is placed on innovative models that bridge clinical nutritional care with community resources and support systems, recognizing that sustainable improvements require both precise nutritional intervention and addressing the underlying factors that limit food access, preparation, and consumption.
