Nutrition is a cornerstone of health promotion and disease prevention and is integral to enhancing overall well-being of older adults. Learning Objectives: (1) identify opportunities to integrate brief discussion of nutrition and dietary choices into clinical practice with older adults; (2) recognize and access validated tools to assess and guide intervention for nutrition, malnutrition and food insecurity in the care of older adults; (3) recognize strategies and available resources to support healthier food choices and improve access to nutritious foods, particularly in lower socioeconomic status (SES) areas, while also addressing the needs of patients dealing with food insecurity; and (4) leverage social media and web-based approaches to engage patients in healthy eating.
