曾晶介绍，对于老年人，体重过轻或消瘦会增加骨质疏松、食道和胃肿瘤等疾病的风险，同时导致对疾病的抵抗耐受力降低、缩短寿命。目前普遍认为，老年人的健康体质指数在20～27之间为宜，也就是说，微胖的老人相对更健康。

Zeng Jing said that for the elderly, underweight or weight loss will increase the risk of osteoporosis, esophagus and stomach cancer, and at the same time lead to reduced resistance to disease and shorten life. It is generally believed that the healthy body mass index of the elderly is between 20 and 27, that is to say, old people who are slightly plump are relatively healthier.

1）保证充足的食物摄入。不要过于相信瘦是福，老年人的蛋白质摄入较成年人增加，更应该每天吃足量的肉类（通常建议每天吃150～200g肉类，喝200～400ml鲜奶）。食量少的消瘦老人可以通过加餐来保证食物的摄入总量。

1) Ensure adequate food intake. Don't believe thin is always a blessing. The protein intake of the elderly is higher than that of adults. You should eat enough meat every day (usually it is recommended to eat 150-200g meat per day and drink 200-400ml fresh milk). An elderly who eats in small portions can increase the total amount of food intake by adding meals.
