Abstract
Taste and smell are critical to dietary selection, especially for older adults, whose appetite is reduced. Neuroimaging studies can elucidate the process that causes the decrease of chemosensory functions with aging. The profound lost of olfactory functions in persons with Alzheimer disease accentuate the problem of inadequate food intake and disease progression.
摘要
味觉和嗅觉对于饮食选择至关重要，尤其是对于食欲减退的老年人。神经影像学研究可以阐明随着年龄增长导致化学感觉功能下降的过程。阿尔茨海默病患者嗅觉功能的严重丧失加剧了食物摄入不足和疾病进展的问题。
