1 in 2 older adults are at risk for #malnutrition. While our physiology is changing, so are the body’s nutritional needs; changing tastes, comorbidities, and financial insecurity can also play a role. So how can we optimize good nutrition as we get older? buff.ly/ThqmKJj

NEW: Many older adults living alone struggle with health issues. Many are isolated and vulnerable. But a noteworthy slice of this growing group of seniors maintain a high degree of well-being. Meet Hilda Jaffe, 102, of NYC.

Great reminder to start the week! It's on all of us to change how we talk about #aging.👏👏👏👏 #ReframeAging
Using the term "our seniors" is paternalistic. Older people aren't children. Let's all switch to more #agefriendly language. We're all aging. Older people. Older adults. People 65 and older. #politicians
