Course Introduction 課程簡介
Older adults experience a wide range of health conditions, leading to unique and diverse nutritional needs that require appropriate support. With the rapid growth of the ageing population, the demand for geriatric nutrition support has increased significantly and is expected to continue rising in the coming decades.
Adequate nutrition plays a crucial role in the prevention and management of many diseases. To enhance the quality of life of older adults, optimise their health and social participation, and reduce healthcare costs, this course aims to provide practical, foundational knowledge in geriatric nutrition for nutrition students and healthcare professionals.
長者常面對多種不同的健康問題，因而產生多元且獨特的營養需要，需配合適切的營養支援。隨著人口老齡化迅速發展，長者營養支援的需求顯著上升，並預計在未來數十年持續增長。
充足的營養對於多種疾病的預防與管理至關重要。為提升長者的生活質素、促進其健康及社會參與，並減低醫療開支，本課程旨在為營養學學生及醫療照護人員提供實務導向的長者營養基礎知識。
