C
The greatest dietary concern for adults over age 80 is maintaining adequate nutritional status to promote optimal health and quality of life. At this age, weight gain is rarely a problem. It is possible, but unlikely for them to increase their lean body mass. Preventing coronary heart disease and cancer is less of a concern at this age; in fact, too much concern about healthy eating can result in inadequate dietary intakes.
