Geriatric Nutrition: The Health Professional's Handbook

Extremely comprehensive but it is a difficult read. I feel I would get more out of it if it summarized the point instead of discussing study details

No problems getting the book and its in great condition. The most affordable option I could find as well

It's a very useful book.for those studying gerontology it's a very handy book.

Lots of good information!

Helpful information for examin

Very helpful

As a nutrition student, this is not helpful. It is 90% biology based and 10% nutrition. Furthermore, I was taught that when doing research to use material only five years old. When looking at the references from each chapter I noticed that about half of the sources were from 2000 or earlier. Some of her references are from the 1940s. On page 314 it states, "In the United States, the prevalence rates for iron-deficiency anemia were recently reported in NHANES III (1988-1994)..." The 1990s is NOT recent. Unfortunately, her information is so outdated, that I don't find it reliable.

I work in geriatric nutrition. It's a great reference book but it's 550 pages are pretty useless in the field.
