IMPACTO DA DEFICIÊNCIA NUTRICIONAL NA SAÚDE DE IDOSOS
Abstract
A população idosa do Brasil está crescendo consideravelmente,
decorrente do aumento da expectativa de vida. Com o avanço
da idade o idoso possui maior probabilidade em apresentar
problemas nutricionais. O envelhecimento diminui a capacidade
de ingerir, digerir, absorver, e metabolizar os nutrientes
do alimento. Alguns desses condicionantes devem-se às alterações
fisiológicas próprias do envelhecimento, enquanto que
outros são influenciados pelas enfermidades presentes e por
fatores relacionados com a situação socioeconômica e familiar.
Assim, essa revisão relata alguns dos impactos que o envelhecimento
trás consigo, sejam eles psicológicos ou fisiológicos,
abordando as principais carências de vitaminas e minerais no
organismo do idoso.
