| Abstract: | The COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard on the elderly because of their particular vulnerability to the virus. This virus causes worse outcomes in older adults, especially those with comorbidities. Their confinement to forestall the spread of the virus resulted in social isolation, often linked to the unwanted loneliness that hinders their emotional well-being. Loneliness might be a risk factor for physical deterioration. Family and social support is also vital for the betterment of the elderly. Due to financial constraints, some older persons who live alone do not prepare complete, balanced meals, placing them at danger of malnutrition. Malnutrition remains one amongst the foremost serious health problems for older people worldwide. Many factors contribute to malnutrition in older people, including: loss of appetite, dementia, frailty, poor dentition, swallowing difficulties, social isolation, and poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic represents an oversized impact on human health, causing sudden lifestyle changes, through social distancing and isolation reception, with social and economic consequences. Besides the physiological risk, various social factors like lack of security, loneliness, isolation, ageism, sexism, dependency, stigma, abuse and restriction to health care access were identified as crucial in pandemic situations. A stratified random sampling method was used to select the sample. An online survey was conducted through Google forms from elderly aged 60 years or more, residing in India, including both genders. Overall, this study result concluded that geriatrics living with family have less chances of malnutrition. |
