Malnutrition, both obesity and under nutrition, are common problems linked with elderly. Some of the common disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkimon's disease etc. are also age related about which you may recall studying in the last unit.

Under nutrition, among elderly, can be diet induced or may be due to other reasons.
