Nutrition, Gender and Generations

Forward-thinking communities pay greater attention to their most vulnerable citizens. As we age poor nutrition has a profound impact on our health and well-being in gender-specific ways. Yet low funding, over-stretched carers and overzealous regulations are among the factors limiting the food choices and enjoyment of eating that everyone deserves in their later years. And the baby boomers are coming. In Sydney alone, the projected number of people aged over 65 years old will nearly double in the next 20 years, from around 520,000 in 2011 to over 995,000 in 2031.
