Abstract

The increase in elderly populations worldwide highlights the urgency of addressing age-related problems through effective nutritional management to enhance the well-being of the elderly and for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. The trend towards an increasing elderly population brings with it an increase in conditions such as sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia and frailty, emphasising the importance of regular checks for malnutrition in the elderly and the implementation of personalised nutritional therapies. The importance of nutrition in addressing geriatric syndromes such as frailty, sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, obesity and metabolic syndrome is highlighted. Dysphagia, frequent in the elderly, requires special attention to prevent malnutrition and complications. It is essential to maintain muscle mass and bone health in old age. In this review we investigate the fundamental role of nutrition in geriatrics, focusing on promoting healthy ageing and managing problems such as malnutrition and overeating. The importance of protein intake and healthy dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet are then discussed. Finally, the challenges of personalised nutritional care, including the need for artificial nutrition or oral supplements, to improve quality of life and health care in an ageing society are addressed.

叙述性综述：老龄人口的营养策略--重点关注吞咽困难和老年营养需求。

全球老年人口的增加凸显了通过有效的营养管理来解决与年龄相关问题的紧迫性，从而提高老年人的福祉，预防和治疗各种疾病。老年人口增加的趋势带来了肌肉疏松症、骨疏松症和虚弱症等病症的增加，强调了定期检查老年人营养不良和实施个性化营养疗法的重要性。营养在应对虚弱、肌少症、骨肌少症、肥胖症和代谢综合征等老年综合症方面的重要性得到了强调。老年人经常出现吞咽困难，需要特别注意预防营养不良和并发症。保持老年人的肌肉质量和骨骼健康至关重要。在这篇综述中，我们研究了营养在老年医学中的基本作用，重点是促进健康老龄化和管理营养不良和暴饮暴食等问题。然后讨论蛋白质摄入和健康饮食模式（如地中海饮食）的重要性。最后，还讨论了个性化营养护理所面临的挑战，包括是否需要人工营养或口服补充剂，以提高老龄化社会的生活质量和医疗保健水平。
