           AGE-RELATED CHANGES THAT  
           IMPACT NUTRITION 
           As people age, multiple changes occur that can impact the nutritional status 
           of an individual. 
           MUSCULOSKELETAL CHANGES 
              Muscle Loss: The loss of lean muscle mass can lead to a loss of
                strength, functional decline, and poor endurance. This loss also leads to
                reduced total body water content.
              Decreased Bone Density:  Another common loss related to aging is
                changes in bone density, which can increase the risk for osteoporosis.
