Malnutrition treatment in San Andres Cholula

Malnutrition is a state in which the body does not receive the nutrients it needs in sufficient quantity or variety, which affects its functioning and its ability to stay strong.

How it may manifest: weight loss, weakness, fatigue, reduced muscle mass, and greater vulnerability to illness.

Who is more vulnerable: older people are an especially sensitive group, since various factors can reduce their appetite or their ability to eat well.

Which specialist treats it? In older adults, the geriatrician assesses nutritional status within a comprehensive view of health. If an older person loses weight or shows weakness without a clear cause, discussing it with a professional helps to understand the situation and to follow up on it.
