The population of older adults aging-in-place is growing and poses unique nutrition challenges. Older adults tend to have higher rates of food insecurity, worsened appetite, oral health, and changes in taste and smell, contributing to overall worsened nutritional intake. In addition to age-related factors, living alone and aging-in-place can also have harmful effects on nutrition status in the older adult. Nutrition assistance programs can aid the older adult aging-in-place, but may not properly serve every older adult in need. It is important to identify the communities in the highest need of governmental assistance to help reduce the risk of poor nutrition in the older adult aging-in-place community. Developing effective governmental and community programming surrounding dietary habits, social facilitation and social support can improve dietary habits and dietary intake in the older adult community. It is crucial to explore new nutritional intervention programs to improve dietary intake in older adults aging-in-place. Providing adequate and effective nutrition interventions to this vulnerable demographic has the potential to improve long-term health outcomes for lonely, anxious, and depressed older adults.
