Americans aged 85 years or older are the fastest growing population segment in the U.S. Many older adults have multiple chronic degenerative diseases and other illnesses. These conditions can take a toll on their ability to perform basic activities of daily living, frequently resulting in a poorer quality of life, frailty, and increased disability. Today there are no common, well-accepted guidelines for the prevention or treatment of frailty. Frailty, like obesity and diabetes, is a condition with a multiplicity of causes. Thus a multi-factorial approach—including nutrition—is needed for its prevention and treatment. Internationally, healthcare systems are establishing multidisciplinary protocols on frailty; in Europe, dietitians are taking a very active role in the development and implementation of these protocols. We believe that registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) in the U.S. have the responsibility today to take a similar leading role; becoming integral to nutritional screening, intervention, and advocating for pre-frail and frail older adults, thus making a meaningful difference in their quality of life and health outcomes. | |
