Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most prevalent cognitive disorder among the elderly.Malnutrition is a frequent nutritional issue within this population and is linked to negative clinical outcomes across various diseases.Recent studies indicate a significant association between malnutrition and both the development and progression of AD, highlighting the critical role of nutritional support in preventing and delaying the advancement of the disease.We discussed the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with AD, the interrelationship between AD and malnutrition, the mechanisms connecting malnutrition to AD, and the impact of nutritional support on the management of AD.
