Abstract
MB My name is Maggie Beer, I live in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. I have, in the last 10 years, developed a great interest in food in aged care. I'm 77 years of age, I've always lived with a great diet, never using preservatives, and I'm
very aware from my work with Professor Ralph Martins on food to protect the brain from dementia, and that diet has such an impact on our wellbeing and our way of life.
JF I am Julien Ferretti, my title is Chef and Culinary Project Leader, at the Institut Paul Bocuse Research Centre, Lyon. I work as a consultant for academia, associations, foundations, industries and start-ups in the food sector in order to develop new food items, products, which go into the idea of a better way of eating for all type of population.
JC I was interested in some facts and figures that I found from the National Institute of Health, in the USA, saying that nearly 20% of Americans over 40 years report some changes in their sense of touch and therefore the sense of smell. This rises to nearly 30% of people who are over 80 years. In terms of smell, 24% of Americans over 40 years report alterations to their sense of smell, and for the over 80s, that goes to more than 30% for their sense of smell. Maggie, is that a surprise for you to hear how common this problem is?
