Older adults represent a large and growing portion of the global population. Given the high risk of malnutrition in this population, it is important to understand factors influencing food intake; sensory perception is one of these factors. Aging is associated with a number of physiological changes that alter the way food sensory properties are perceived. Because of these changes, it is often assumed that older adults experience a decrease in food liking. Although there is little evidence to support this assumption, many studies have evaluated flavor enhancement strategies aiming to increase food liking in older adults. As older adults exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity in their liking response, more tailored approaches may be required to increase food liking in older adult populations. Current attempts to classify subgroups of older adults have had little success. Furthermore, consideration should be given to food texture in future studies, as it plays a dominant and increasingly vital role in food perception by older adults. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSSensory perception plays an important role in food choice and intake, thus it is important to understand how foods are perceived by older adults. This is essential to the health and well-being of older adults, as the reduction in food intake often observed with ageing is a key contributor to malnutrition in this population. The success of studies aiming to improve food liking in older adults have had very limited success to date, with some strategies actually leadings to a reduction in food consumption. To improve the success of future strategies, food perception by older adults, and the increasingly vital role of food texture must be understood.

“…The extent to which smell and to a lesser extend taste sensitivity decrease with aging (Rawson & Venezia, 2011) is characterized by large inter-individual differences (Koskinen, Kalviainen, & Tuorila, 2003). However neither for normosmic nor for hyposmic older persons, age-related changes in flavor perception have been linked to a general preference for real food products with increased overall taste or flavor (Koskinen et al, 2003;Kremer, Holthuisen, & Boesvedt, 2014;Kremer et al, 2007).…”

“…Therefore, the aging phenomenon needs to be addressed using suitable strategies that maintain the health and QoL of elderly people for as long as possible (Kremer, Holthuysen, & Boesveldt, 2014). The QoL has shown a negative correlation with age (Hsu, Chen, Kuo, Fan, Lee, & Hsu, 2014).…”

Abstract:It is predicted that life expectancy will raise sharply in future stages, especially in western countries. In fact, life expectancy of developed countries is currently over the age of 70. Aging implies a series of physical, psychological, cognitive and social changes that condition one's self-concept, creating adaptive strategies and the knowledge to maintain one's well-being in spite of the changes. Albeit aging is a natural and inevitable process, the benefits of physical fitness on physical and functional deterioration have been thoroughly confirmed. However, although this information is widely known, the majority of elderly people of these countries execute little practice of physical activity in order to improve their Quality of Life (QoL). In response to this attitude, the aim of this paper is to argue and justify that a healthy aging process is associated with maintained health, physical and cognitive function and social participation. It shows numerous research studies which demonstrate that integrated programs of physical fitness can provide benefits in a number of predictors of QoL, such as physical functioning, physical role, general health and social functioning, self-perceived QoL and mental components.
