The answer to your question is

\boxed {\bf Bad~nutrition}



\bf Explanation:
As you get older many nutritional dilemmas start to pop up, such as loss of appetite, depression, menopause/prostate problems, heart disease, less taste, etc. All of these affect their nutrition and put them at risk for deficiencies.

I hope this helps you!
