One major change that affects older adults is a decline considerations
in cognitive function - this may be due to a natural associated with
age-related
decline in memory or to other causes such as changes.
Alzheimer's disease, stroke, brain tumor, or head injury.
Other potential risk factors for cognitive decline are
diabetes mellitus and poor nutrition. Common signs and
symptoms of cognitive decline include the following:

As older adults' cognitive function declines, their ability

to handle activities of daily living (ADL) is often
negatively impacted.
 ADLs such as bathing, dressing, lifting objects above head
level, and preparing food and drinks become more difficult

as cognition declines. This can lead to decreased quality of

life for older adults and increase their need for assistance.
For older adults to appropriately care for themselves, they

minerals, and other nutrients. To do so successfully may
require assistance from family or friends or professional

nutritional deficiencies as they age because their food
