Nutritional deficiency is a result of insufficient amounts of a nutrient obtained or absorbed from food. Elder people are more prone to nutritional deficiencies even if the diet consumed is healthy and sufficient in calories. This may be attributed to the decline in the ability of digestive tract to effectively absorb nutrients with age. Moreover, decline in the ability to smell and taste also reduces appetite, which can lead to low amount of required nutrients in elderly people.
