As part of the National Undernutrition Week which will be held from November 7 to 14, the Vaison Ventoux Community of Communes and the CLIC, an information desk for the elderly and their families, have coordinated a great program of meetings in Vaison Ventoux with many partners!
Among the upcoming events, a friendly “cooking and nutrition” workshop, followed by a shared meal, will take place on Monday, November 13 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the ACAF MSA vocational high school in Vaison-la-Romaine for people over 60 years old.
Undernutrition is the disease of loss of appetite, which does indeed exist in an affluent society and constitutes a real public health issue.
According to the organizers of this week of action, malnutrition affects one in three hospitalized patients; 40% of cancer patients; one child in ten hospitalized; 5 to 10% of elderly people at home; 30 to 40% of nursing home residents; • a third of Alzheimer’s patients. In total, more than 2 million people are affected each year.
Against this scourge, among other measures, a national undernutrition week has been created since 2020 to raise awareness among the general public and health professionals.
