The role of nutrition in preventing pressure ulcers.

چکیده
Old age, pressure ulcers and malnutrition may co-exist. Wounds in older people may already be slow to heal as a result of compromised skin integrity, which occurs as part of the normal ageing process. Malnutrition is also more common in older people, and evidence has shown that inadequate nutrition may lead to impaired and prolonged wound healing. This article explores the relationship between nutrition and wound healing, and promotes optimum nutrition in old age as an essential component of effective wound management.
