KoshyRoopa Al-AsmiAbdullah I. WalyMostafa 1020141710The elderly population is increasing worldwide and it has been suggested that
senior citizens will continue to constitute the bulk of the population in many
countries. Nutritional status of senior citizens are adversely affected by their
frailty, chronic condition and declining cognitive functioning. Conversely,

cognitive functioning. The aim of this review article is to recognize the importance
of nutritional assessment of elderly population particularly those with cognitive
impairment. First part is to highlight characteristic cognitive impairment among
senior citizens and the second one highlight t he background in which malnutrition
