There are also a host of other medical conditions from which older people and other Medicare beneficiaries suffer that could be improved with appropriate nutritional intervention. Despite that, access to a nutrition professional is very limited.Do nutrition services benefit older people in terms of morbidity, mortality, or quality of life?Which health professionals are best qualified to provide such services?What would be the cost to Medicare of such services? Would the cost be offset by reduced illness in this population?This book addresses these questions, provides recommendations for nutrition services for the elderly, and considers how the coverage policy should be approached and practiced. The book discusses the role of nutrition therapy in the management of a number of diseases.
