    Abstract:
    The nutrition of geriatric patients should observe the following characteristics of advanced age: diminished calorie requirement, impaired glucose tolerance, tendency to elevated serum cholesterin and triglyceride levels, increased requirements for protein of high biological value, absence of thirst and reduced total body water. Considering these metabolic changes recommendations for an adequate nutrition of senescent people are discussed.
