Abstract
photo The prevalence of malnutrition among the sick elderly admitted to hospital is as high as 40%, with half being severely malnourished. They continue to lose weight in hospital un less special measures are taken. Our own studies of hospital food show that 40% of that given to the elderly is wasted, so that they receive only 75% of their required energy and protein intake, with parallel reductions in micronutrients. The hospital care of the elderly demands a proper nutritional policy for screening, referral, assessment and nutritional care. Aspects of this from hospital food through to oral supplements and artificial nutrition will be discussed.
