Neurobiology of Aging, 1988
Weight loss and anorexia occur commonly in the elderly. While in many cases the anorexia can be attributed to associated disease processes, it does appear that a true anorexia of aging exists. Animal studies have suggested that older rodents have an excessive satiety effect of cholecystokinin and a decreased opioid feeding drive.

The anorexia of aging is common, leading to adverse health consequences. As populations age, the impacts from anorexia in the older population are set to increase. Only greater awareness will allow for prevention or early intervention. This article discusses the physiologic anorexia of aging, highlights contributing factors, and proposes management ...

Undernutrition is common in the elderly, particularly those in nursing homes and other institutions. It is associated with substantial adverse effects. The age-associated physiologic reduction in appetite and food intake, which has been termed "the anorexia of aging," contributes to the development of pathologic anorexia and undernutrition.

Nutrition, 2004
In many sports, athletes with low body weight have a distinct advantage over their opponents; however, this advantage can easily turn into a noticeable disadvantage because low body weight may also be associated with health problems. The present review focuses on the problem of anorexia athletica, with its emphasis on leanness and thinness in female ...

Ageing is associated with a reduction in appetite and food intake, which has been termed the 'anorexia of ageing'. After age 70-75 years average body weight decreases, even in healthy people, disproportionately due to loss of lean tissue. The 'physiological' anorexia and weight loss of ageing predispose to pathological weight loss and malnutrition ...

Anorexia/cachexia syndrome (ACS) is recognized as a serious aspect of advanced or terminal illness and as an area requiring further research with respect to its pathophysiology and treatment options. The management of ACS is complicated by numerous obstacles, including lack of clear definitions and guidelines, inconsistency in assessment and management
