Cross-sectional study shows changes in eating behavior in individuals with smell and taste disorders, suggesting need for tailored nutritional advice.
We have built on existing literature highlighting the impact SATDs have on participant eating behaviour. Although there is clearly an impact on diet and social behaviours around food/eating it is hard to know the full health and economic impact. Especially when we consider that poor nutritional intake has been linked to cognitive decline in an older age group, it is an important area for further research and it may be beneficial for healthcare providers to offer tailored nutritional advice and discuss possible coping mechanisms upon diagnosis of SATDs.
