Nutrition for the Older Adult

Nutrition for the Older Adult, 2nd Edition, is an undergraduate textbook that examines the nutritional requirements of aging populations. Written by Melissa Bernstein and Nancy Munoz and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning, the text connects dietary principles with an emphasis on health promotion.

Coverage explores age-related physiological changes alongside weight concerns and dietary considerations across culturally diverse older populations. The authors highlight natural aging processes to demonstrate that disease is not an inevitable outcome of growing older.

Designed for students in nutrition, nursing, public health, and gerontology, the volume incorporates examples of actual patients to illustrate nutritional conditions observed in community and clinical settings.
