Assessing the nutritional status of elderly patients is an integral component of a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Anthropometric measurements, body composition estimation, and questionnaires such as the MNA, MST, NRI, and PINI are useful methods for assessing nutritional status in seniors.

some of the most dangerous food-drug interactions are as follows

• Calcium-Rich Foods + Antibiotics.
• Pickled, Cured, and Fermented Foods + MAIOs.
• Vitamin K-Rich Foods + Warfarin
• Alcohol + Prescription Stimulants.
• Grapefruit and Grapefruit Juice + Statins.
