“The medications many of our older patients rely on to manage health conditions often have unintended nutritional consequences. For example, many commonly prescribed medications can lead to micronutrient deficiencies. As RDNs, recognizing and addressing these medication-induced micronutrient deficiencies and nutrition-related side effects isn’t just relevant—it’s essential. Next month’s presentation will equip you with the knowledge to integrate targeted assessments to detect medication-induced micronutrient deficiencies into your nutrition care process and formulate effective interventions to support the aging population.
