Abstract
Chronic diarrhoea affects up to 10% of older adults, impacts quality of life and has potential adverse medical outcomes. Dietary changes can be effective but, if not managed correctly, could negatively impact health. This review summarises the prevalence, potential causes, and complications of chronic diarrhoea in older people. The evidence for dietary treatments, and the nutritional implications, are described.
