      Nutrition risk in older adults
         Good nutrition is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. If an older adult’s diet 
         is insufficient in vitamins or minerals , macronutrients, or energy to meet their 
         body’s requirements they may be at nutrition risk.[16]
         Malnutrition is defined as a state resulting from lack of intake or uptake of 
         nutrition that leads to altered body composition and function.[16]
         Any imbalance between the nutrients that older adults need and those that they 
         receive can result in two kinds of malnutrition:
                1.   Overnutrition comes from consuming too many calories or too much of 
                     any nutrient—protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin, mineral, or dietary 
                     supplement. 
                2.   Undernutrition results from not consuming enough calories, protein, or 
                                                   [21]
