Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Older people are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and dehydration, which can significantly affect their health and quality of life. Due to advanced age, their bodies undergo changes that can affect their ability to absorb nutrients and maintain proper hydration, leading to reduced dietary intake in combination with catabolic disease effects. Malnutrition and dehydration in the elderly often result in serious health consequences, including risk of mortality, and are considered important factors contributing to the complex etiology of sarcopenia and frailty.
Preventing malnutrition and dehydration is essential to maintaining health in this vulnerable population.
The aim of this Special Issue is to deliver novel insights into the risk factors associated with malnutrition and dehydration and strategies for prevention in elderly people.
Prof. Dr. Susana Sánchez-Fidalgo
