वृद्धजन असुरक्षित क्यों होते हैं
In this Class 12 Home Science topic, students examine why elderly people may become vulnerable as ageing brings changes in health, mobility, sensory abilities, memory, emotional wellbeing and financial or social support. They learn to distinguish individual needs from risks such as neglect, isolation, dependence and abuse, and consider how families, communities, institutions and government programmes can provide care, safety, health services and opportunities for participation. The topic connects these ideas to planning and managing support services for older adults with dignity, respect and inclusion.

Older adults may experience reduced appetite, dental problems, difficulty chewing or swallowing, altered taste, digestive disorders, illness, loneliness, or limited income. These factors can reduce food intake and lead to undernutrition. Soft, nutrient-dense meals, dental care, adequate fluids, and individualized support can help, but food needs do not disappear with age.
Poor appetite can reduce the amount eaten, while dental problems or chewing difficulty can lead a person to avoid nutritious but firm foods. Together they may cause inadequate energy, protein, vitamin, and mineral intake, weight loss, and weakness. Soft, nutrient-dense foods, dental care, and professional assessment can help.
Older adults may eat less because of reduced appetite, dental problems, swallowing difficulty, illness or changes in taste and smell, but they still require protein, vitamins, minerals and adequate energy. Nutrient-dense foods provide more nourishment in smaller portions. Soft textures, safe preparation and individual medical needs should also be considered.
