味觉和嗅觉对饮食选择至关重要，特别是对于食欲下降的老年人。神经影像学研究可以阐明导致化学感觉功能随年龄增长而下降的过程。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。
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.
