Geriatric Nutrition Introduction There have been many researchers (Davis, 1988; Exton-Smith, 1987; Stanfield & Yu, 1987) who have indicated that nutritional practices among the elderly both affect the aging process and are, in turn, affected by same. Exton-Smith (1987) reports that nutrition may interact with the aging process in three important ways. Foremost is that most tissue functions tend to decrease during adult life, with nutrition and other intervening variables tending to somewhat ameliorate this age-related loss of tissue substance and function. Second, the frequency of many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, increases with advancing age and evidences the highest frequency for those aged individuals falling between 50 and 90 (p. 616).

Multiple Developmental Abnormalities Spina bifida (occulta) and situs inversus are two distinct anomalies of anatomic structure which result from abnormal embryological development. Type one, or insulindependent, diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a disease which may occur at any age, but typically makes its initial presentation in adolescents and young adults. Chromatopsia is a visual disturbance sometimes associated with retinal pathology. The term "dysraphism" refers to any lack of closure of two structures which are normally fused (18:349). Spina bifida involves dysraphism of the bones that enclose the vertebral canal. Typically this occurs posteriorly and usually involves the neural arches of the vertebrae (pedicles, laminae, articular processes and spinous processes) (18:349).

Endocrine and exocrine glands secrete the body's hormones, and are essential to life. This paper will look at the two types of glands, their secretions, and the action of these secretions on the body. THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS The endocrine system is a group of glands which secrete hormones directly into the blood stream. The major components of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the thyroid, the parathyroids, the islets of the pancreas, the adrenals, the testes, and the ovaries (Berkow, Beers and Fletcher, 1997, p. 693). The hypothalamus and pituitary glands are in the brain; the thyroid and parathyroids are in the neck; the pancreas in the abdomen; the adrenals above the kidneys; the ovaries in the lower abdomen; and the testes in the scrotum (http
