Is it the increasing elderly population and dementia? ~ How to recognize when low food intake is a symptom of a bigger issue, eg social isolation, depression? ~ Are there any proven successful models that link general advice with specific disease-related advice (eg heart or cancer) ~ Is there a trend that needs to be highlighted to work toward prevention? |
