4 Disability is an umbrella term for impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions. It denotes the negative aspects of the interaction between an individual (with a health condition) and that individual s contextual factors (environmental and personal factors). Body functions: The physiological functions of body systems (including psychological functions). Body structures: Anatomical parts of the body such as organs, limbs and their components. Impairments: Problems in body function and structure such as significant deviation or loss. World Health Organization. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

37 Social changes - Isolation - Poverty - Reliance on others Physiological changes - Functional disability - Oronasal conditions - GI conditions - Satiety Psychological changes - Depression - Foods are less liked - Less motivation to eat Eating process - Slower eating - Less snacking - Less dietary variety Decreased food intake - Calories - Nutrients - Food and drinks MALNUTRITION Nieuwenhuizen WF et al.

39 As with other aspects of geriatric care, the management of malnutrition in older age needs to be multidimensional Various types of interventions are effective in reversing these patterns of malnutrition, and have been shown to delay care dependency, improve intrinsic capacity and revert frail states The nutrient density of food should be improved, particularly that of vitamins and minerals, but energy and protein intake are important targets Individualized nutritional counseling has been shown to improve the nutritional status of older people within 12 weeks

49 Points to discuss In a two-step model (screening/monitoring and assessment), which is the position of the different domains? Nutrition Is this indeed part of the intrinsic capacity or feeding it? Metabolism? Body composition? Energy production? Other domains to consider E.g., Anxiety? Pain? Fatigue? Specific biomarkers? Should cognition be separeted from or combined to mental health (depressive symptoms)? Place of syndromic and/or geriatric conditions E.g., COPD, urinary incontinence
