Summary Introduction

To discuss: The three most common chronic conditions affecting women older than65 years.

Introduction: Aging causes various physiological changes in the body of a person over time. With advancing age, these changes lead to decreased resilience in the body. Therefore, persons older than 65 years are more prone to illnesses when compared to younger adults. Data from various studies indicate that older women with poor nutritional status are at an increased risk of developing heart disease and other chronic conditions.
