The dwindles: failure to thrive in older patients

Article Abstract:

Failure to thrive in the elderly can be treated successfully if treated early and if nutrition therapy is emphasized. Factors common to geriatric failure to thrive include disease, dementia, delirium, alcohol or drug consumption, swallowing problems, sensory deficits, depression, social isolation, poverty, and despair. Treatment should focus not only on nutrition, which is essential for recovery, but on treating the factors which can be treated and physicians should take a team approach.
