Unintentional weight loss in older adults is not a normal part of aging and should be taken seriously. A sudden decline in weight may indicate underlying medical conditions, nutritional deficiencies, digestive issues, mood disorders, or medication complications.
Families and caregivers play a crucial role in recognizing these early warning signs. Observing changes in appetite, energy levels, clothing fit, or daily function can help ensure timely assessment and intervention.
Protecting a senior’s health means staying attentive to even the smallest changes. If weight loss occurs without explanation, a medical evaluation is essential to support their strength, safety, and overall quality of life.
