Nutritional Status and Risk Factors for Vulnerability of Older People in Africa

HelpAge International, Africa Regional Development Centre

This publication is a compilation of summaries of reports of research surveys conducted under the auspices of the HelpAge International Africa regional nutrition programme, in partnership with academic and training institutions in a number of African countries. The publication of the surveys will provide information and evidence of the nutritional needs of older people in general and those in emergencies and bring about a change in attitudes and practice for their benefit. As of now, older people remain a sidelined lot. For orders write to [email protected].
