Malnutrition occurs when a person's diet does not provide the necessary nutrients and calories needed for overall health and well-being. For elderly nursing home residents, the effects of malnutrition can be particularly severe due to their fragile health conditions. Malnutrition can lead to a range of physical and psychological problems, including:

Weakened Immune System: Malnourished individuals are more susceptible to infections and illnesses, making it harder for their bodies to fight off diseases.
Muscle Weakness: Malnutrition can lead to muscle wasting, making it difficult for elderly residents to perform basic daily activities like walking or even holding utensils.
Cognitive Decline: Insufficient nutrition can impair cognitive function, leading to memory problems, confusion, and even dementia-like symptoms.
Skin Problems: Malnourished individuals are more prone to skin issues such as pressure sores, which can be painful and difficult to treat.
Fatigue and Weakness: A lack of essential nutrients can cause constant fatigue and a feeling of weakness, reducing the quality of life for nursing home residents.
Mood Changes: Malnutrition can also lead to mood swings, depression, and irritability, affecting an individual's overall mental health.
Increased Risk of Falls: Weak muscles and cognitive decline increase the risk of falls, which can result in serious injuries for elderly residents.
