“…Nutritional status is compromised among older adults in general, and the risk of malnutrition is prevalent in an aging population . A changes in nutritional status, specifically the presence of or the risk of malnutrition, has been associated with cognitive impairment among elderly patients in hospital and the community‐dwelling elderly population . The cause of malnutrition is usually multifactorial and unintentional weight loss at any bodyweight as a result of loss of appetite, poor food intake, pain and acute gastrointestinal symptoms, which are well recognized as sensitive malnutrition indicators .…”

Age-related cognitive decline is a main predictor of disability among elderly people, and with the continued expansion of the aging population and the increase in life expectancy, the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia represented by Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder of older adults, have increased. Recent epidemiological and observational studies suggest a relationship exists between lifestyle factors, including nutrition and diet, and cognitive function in aging adults. It is also suggested that malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies are associated with cognitive decline in patients with dementia. There are a variety of nutritional factors, including nutritional status and dietary patterns, that might be associated with cognitive function, and specific micronutrients and dietary components have been suggested to have an association with cognitive function as well. Based on these findings and evidence, evaluation of nutritional state, as well as nutritional intervention, might be able to play a role in the management and prevention of dementia.
