A combination of factors contributes to the problem, including a diet rich in high-calorie foods, inactivity, genetic predisposition, use of food as a coping mechanism for stress or boredom, and family and social factors. There is not a scarcity of healthy foods in this country.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6
Malnutrition in older adults has multiple causes, such as income, educational level, physical func-tioning level to meet activities of daily living (ADLs), loss, dependency, loneliness, and trans-portation. Living in a managed environment is not a risk factor for poor nutrition.
