Hot Topics in Nutrition for the Aging<br />
Population, Part II<br />
Cathy Breedon, Sanford Medical Center<br />
Several nutrients are poorly represented in the diets <strong>of</strong> many<br />
Americans and they <strong>of</strong>ten are unrecognized as being inadequate.<br />
The likelihood <strong>of</strong> inadequacy is much greater in the<br />
aging population for many reasons. This presentation will<br />
describe reasons for the problems associated with six <strong>of</strong> the<br />

safe, easy and inexpensive nutrition adjustments with the potential<br />
to improve the picture significantly.<br />
