Description
Abstract Whilst traditionally respected, older people in Africa are becoming increasingly marginalized as a result of social change and economic pressure. The family remains the most important social support system for older people, but it is changing. The contribution of the elderly Sudanese (both women and men) to the development of our nation is noticeable. Since women live longer than men in most countries and experience greater financial and cultural constraints, this affects their quality of life as older persons. Nutrition is important during every life stage and the needs continue to change as we age.
