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.
