Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Involuntary weight loss can be a sign of malnutrition in older adults, and participation in a congregate meal program can provide regular access to nutritious meals and social interaction, which may improve appetite and overall nutritional status. Antidepressant medications, while potentially useful for treating underlying depression, are not directly related to weight loss.
