7th July 2020    Module 1. Nutrition for Older People

1.30 to 3.30pm AEST

What is good nutrition for an older person? The needs of the fit and healthy person are very different from the needs of the frail older person, especially if they require care- whether in their own home or in an aged care home. Both groups of individuals have higher needs for some nutrients, especially protein. At the same time, appetites might be small and energy (calorie or kilojoule) needs may be lower than when they were younger. It can be challenging to plan an adequate diet. This webinar will explore the nutrition needs of both groups of older people.

This is the first of a series of 10 modules on Improving Nutrition in Aged Care.
