“…It is important to note that following a nutritional support could be difficult for this population as a result of the coexistence of many factors: loss of appetite, inactivity, sensory impairment, early satiation, psychological disorders and mental impairments. Furthermore, AA treatment requires a multidimensional approach, including food manipulation (improvement of flavour, food texture and palatability, increasing dietary variety, and feeding assistance), correction of environmental threat (preventing social isolation and improving conviviality, particularly in nursing home residents, providing adequate individual feeding assistance, changing the mealtime routine, modifying the dining environment, and staff training), reduction of pharmacological risk factors (a certain number of cardiovascular, psychiatric and anti‐rheumatic drugs may reduce appetite) and treatment of underlying medical causes (swallowing disorders, dyspepsia, malabsorption syndromes, neurological causes, endocrine and psychiatric disorders, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases), as recommended in mumerous studies .
