Foods Eaten by the Lenape Indians. When we talk about the foods the early Lenape people ate we must remember that there were no supermarkets at which to buy the foods, and there were no refrigerators in which to store the food. The food had to be eaten very soon or it had to be prepared in various ways for storage so it could be eaten later.
Symptoms of malnutrition in adults. The most common symptom is a notable weight loss. For example, those who have lost more than 10% of their body weight in the course of three months and are not dieting could be malnourished. This is usually measured using the body mass index or the BMI.
Although the newest MNA-SF has been shown to identify older adults who are at risk for malnutrition or are malnourished, the tool does not clearly distinguish between the types and causes of malnutrition, which may include simple starvation (calorie deprivation), sarcopenia (a decline in muscle mass and strength during normal aging), or cachexia (excessive weight loss over time due to chronic inflammatory disease) (Rolland, Abellan van Kan, Gillette-Guyonnet, & Vellas, 2011).
