Nutrition and the quality of life: a measure for the outcome of nutritional intervention?
1992
Schlettwein-Gsell, D.
The quality of life in old age is dependent on many resources and not just on health. Quality of life cannot be a measure for the outcome of nutritional interventions in old age. Risk patterns shift with advancing age and the outcome of a nutritional intervention may have to be evaluated under different circumstances. Although the impact of nutrition as a preventive measure decreases with age, the value of food intake for social structure, self-esteem, enjoyment, and situation awareness gradually increases.
