I don't know if you have noticed that younger friends eat more, which is also because their demand for calories is constantly changing. Some friends at the developmental age have a strong demand for food every day. Sometimes they are hungry two or three hours after eating this meal, because they are constantly exercising and consuming physical strength. And some friends after the age of 30, the obvious change is that the desire for food is not so strong. Moreover, due to the slow metabolic function, even if you eat less at ordinary times, if you don't exercise, these fats will quickly accumulate on your body, and the most intuitive reaction is to get fat.
Some elderly people are getting thinner and thinner because of their age, and their gastrointestinal function is relatively weak. Once the gastrointestinal function deteriorates and nutrients cannot be delivered to the body, it will also become thinner. Moreover, older friends don't have such a strong demand for food, and sometimes they can't eat much in a day, so they don't gain weight so easily.
If it is for these reasons, there is nothing to worry too much about. After all, we are old and there are many things out of our control. But some elderly friends are getting thinner and thinner, which is also related to diseases, such as chronic hepatitis or some gastrointestinal diseases, which will cause weight loss.
If these are the reasons, then we must take the elderly at home to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible, and early detection and treatment can control the development of the disease.
