What do Gerontological Nutrition Registered Dietitians do?
Gerontological nutrition registered dietitians assess and address the unique nutritional needs of older adults by designing personalized meal plans, monitoring their health, and providing education.
They help combat age-related issues like malnutrition, manage chronic diseases through nutrition, and ensure proper nutrient intake—especially of protein, vitamin D, and calcium—while also considering food-medication interactions.
What they do
Nutritional Assessment: Evaluate a client’s current dietary intake, medical history, and lifestyle to identify nutritional risks and deficiencies.
Personalized Meal Planning: Create tailored meal and snack plans that consider age-related changes and individual preferences to meet specific health goals.
Education: Educate older adults, their families, and caregivers about nutrition, healthy food choices, and navigating online nutrition information.
Chronic Disease Management: Develop and implement medical nutrition therapy to help manage chronic conditions common in older adults, such as diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disorders.
Supplement and Medication Review: Advise on appropriate supplement use and help manage potential food-medication interactions.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work with a healthcare team, including physicians and nurses, to provide comprehensive care and optimize health outcomes.
Malnutrition Prevention: Focus on preventing and treating malnutrition and dehydration, both common concerns among the elderly.
