Abstract
Chronic diarrhoea affects up to 10% of older adults, impacts quality of life and has potential adverse medical outcomes. Dietary changes can be effective but, if not managed correctly, could negatively impact health. This review summarises the prevalence, potential causes, and complications of chronic diarrhoea in older people. The evidence for dietary treatments, and the nutritional implications, are described.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition and Healthy Aging is an international forum for research on nutrition as a means of promoting healthy aging. It is particularly concerned with the impact of nutritional interventions on the metabolic and molecular mechanisms which modulate aging and age-associated diseases, including both biological responses on the part of the organism itself and its micro biome. Results emanating from both model organisms and clinical trials will be considered. With regards to the latter, the journal will be rigorous in only accepting for publication well controlled, randomized human intervention trials that conform broadly with the current EFSA and US FDA guidelines for nutritional clinical studies. The journal will publish research articles, short communications, critical reviews and conference summaries, whilst open peer commentaries will be welcomed.
