Abstract

Aging is associated with changes in the hormonal, gastrointestinal (GI), cytokine and psychosocial
systems of the body. These changes can be evidenced by the decrease in resting energy
expenditure, basal metabolic rate, physical activity, taste and smell of the elderly. Current
evidences suggested that sustaining a healthy diet/nutrition will help to decrease the risk
of developing disease, maintain functional independence and life quality of the individual.
