Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impoverished seniors may not have access to a variety of healthy foods and may have limited financial resources to purchase nutritious meals. This puts them at a higher risk for malnutrition compared to other seniors. Living alone, having dentures or arthritis may present some challenges, but does not necessarily indicate a higher risk for malnutrition.
