Explain how Roys change in eating and exercise habits impacts his risk for sarcopenia..
Roy is an 89-year-old retired pastor who was married for 60 years before the death of his wife 6 months ago. He now lives alone in a retirement community close to his daughter and her family. He recently stopped driving on the advice of his physician and depends on his daughter and grandchildren to help him with groceries and transport him to doctors appointments. Although in reasonably good health, he has lost weight over the past year and complains of feeling more tired than usual. Since his wifes death, he has stopped going to his exercise class and prefers to eat his meals in his apartment rather than the community dining facility. He prepares his own meals, which usually include toast and coffee for breakfast, a meat or cheese sandwich with potato chips and milk for lunch, and canned soup or chili beans for dinner. He rarely eats between meals. Although usually at a healthy weight for his height, Roys family is concerned that he has lost 12 pounds since his wifes death.
