Check if you are at risk

The risk of developing an inadequate diet in old age is very high. It is particularly important to recognize the first signs of this as quickly as possible and to counteract the depletion of the body's tissues by taking appropriate measures. So how can you assess your nutritional status?

Analysis of your nutritional status and diagnosis of an inadequate diet can be undertaken by the doctor treating you, on the basis of a variety of tests and a thorough medical history. A BMI (body mass index) check – measuring your height versus weight - and completing the checklist for inadequate nutrition can provide you with the first indications of a possible risk.

The following questions are designed to help you check for possible signs of poor nutritional status - which have a significant impact on your health and wellbeing.

If you answer more than one question with a YES, this may already be an indication of an insufficient energy and nutrient supply. You should talk to your doctor or a dietitian for more advice. 

 

  • Have you noticed that you generally feel less hungry than you used to? 
  • Do you feel like you have to eat even though you don't really feel like it? 
  • Have you experienced a loss of energy or strength of late? 
  • Is it difficult for you to eat regularly? Has your diet changed recently? 
  • Do you have trouble keeping up with shopping and cooking meals? 
  • Do you feel tired more often than you think you should? 
  • Have you noticed that you've lost weight and you're unsure why? 
  • Do you sometimes find it difficult to chew or swallow food? 
  • Do you suffer from digestive problems on a regular basis?

 

Body mass index (BMI)


With the measurement of the BMI it is evaluated if our body weight is appropriate. A BMI check will quickly provide you with information about the ratio between your height and weight. Together with the checklist, this information will serve as the basis for a medical consultation and to find out if your food intake meets your needs.
