Here are some things that you may want to be on the lookout for (some are difficult to detect): • Dental issues such as tooth decay, denture issues, and jaw or mouth pain can lead to reduced intake of proper foods/nutrients; fr/ • Sensory icnhathnegeas, e.g., y to ) taste, smell, and enjoy s, food texture can ad- versely affect appetite '. and proper food intake; / • Other physical issues if with eating: e.g., less chewing (often related to dental issues), difficulty swallowing, and frequent chok- ing or regurgitation when eating (may indicate reflux or other heath problems) can all impede proper nutritional intake; • Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss may signal nutrient intake problems/deficiencies.
