Final answer:

Aging can impact taste bud sensitivity, leading to changes in food choices. Changes in bone structure can affect denture fit and nutrition.


Explanation:

Aging can lead to decreased sensitivity of taste buds, affecting the ability to discern flavors, leading to less appeal in food. This can result in an increased intake of salty and sweet foods due to the inability to taste them properly. Additionally, changes in the bones of the jaw can impact the fit of dentures, further complicating nutrition for older adults.
