Abstract
Although both malnutrition and polypharmacy in elderly populations are relevant clinical issues, relatively little is known about their mutual relationship through drug-nutrition interactions (DNIs). To address this knowledge gap, DNIs are discussed, captured in a framework of five classes: the impact of food, nutrients, and nutrition status on drug action, and vice versa, the impact of drug use on nutrition status.
