Health problems arising from a disease, disorder or condition may lead to nutritional insufficiencies at any age, disabling individuals to meet their dietary requirements via normal food. Getting the right nutritional care in a timely manner can help reduce medical complications, support recovery and independence, and lower healthcare costs.
Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) are effective, non-invasive solutions recommended when recovering from acute illness or during malnutrition. Patients are typically able to consume normal food but may not meet the recommended dietary needs.
Enteral Nutrition is administered to patients who are unable to get sufficient nutrition orally even though the gastrointestinal tract is functioning. This requires feeding into the gastrointestinal tract using a tube.
Parenteral Nutrition covers ‘intravenous feeding’, where nutrition is administered directly into the blood circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. This is needed when a patient is unable to get sufficient nutrition through normal food, oral nutritional supplements or through enteral nutrition.

It is well recognized that the immune system is weakened by advancing age, often referred to as immunosenescence. This results in increased susceptibility to as well as morbidity and mortality from infection. Nutritional management in elder care is one important modifiable factor that may support a more resilient immune system in elderly.
