Metabolic and physiologic changes that accompany normal aging modify the nutritional requirements of older adults.

Underpinning many, if not most, nutritional problems in older adults is socioeconomic status. Therefore, understanding access challenges to healthy food, including geographic, financial, and transportation barriers, also is needed to better understand how to meet the nutritional needs of older adults.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn October 28-29, 2015, the Food and Nutrition Board convened a workshop, Meeting the Dietary Needs of Older Adults, in Washington, DC.
