Nutritional deficiencies and metabolic diseases in the elderly

Studies show that more than 30% of older adults suffer from nutritional deficiencies, the most common being a lack of vitamin D, calcium and vitamin B12 (Source: 'Mexico National Health and Nutrition Survey 2020').

At Verdeza, we understand that proper nutrition is essential to prevent age-related health problems. Vitamin D deficiency, for example, has been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis in older adults. Forty percent of osteoporosis fractures occur in people over the age of 70 (Source: National Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico).

In terms of metabolic diseases, diabetes affects more than 20% of older adults worldwide (Source: World Health Organization).

At Verdeza, we design personalized meal plans to ensure adequate intake of essential nutrients. We also promote an active lifestyle and specific meal plans to prevent and control these diseases, thus supporting the metabolic health of our residents.

Early detection is key. We perform regular assessments to identify potential metabolic deficiencies and risks, allowing for proactive intervention.

At Verdeza, we are committed to addressing nutritional deficiencies and metabolic diseases in our elderly residents. Our comprehensive approach seeks to improve quality of life through proper nutrition and active prevention. Thank you for trusting us with the well-being of your loved ones.
