Feeding problems in dementia
GM, 37, August, 2007
Problems with feeding and malnutrition are common in dementia; the consequences are
often serious and worsen with disease progression. Patients can be uncooperative and/or
simply unable to eat without time spent and attention given. Drs Victoria Watts,
Beth Turnpenny and Alex Brown discuss the issues around malnutrition and dementia,
and suggest techniques for its management.
