Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/29/2015 -- Increasing population of baby boomers is a major factor driving the consumption of clinical nutrition products. With increasing age, digestion abilities of the human digestive system decreases, thus makes it difficult for the body to absorb all the required nutrients from food. Loss of appetite is also a common problem among baby boomers. As a result, aging individuals do not get optimal amounts of nutrients. Hence, they resort to additional supplements for proper nourishment. In order to stay fit, their dependence on clinical nutrition increases. According to the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA), 841 million people were aged 60 years and above in 2013 compared to 205 million people in 1950. The population is projected to reach over 2 billion by 2050. With the increasing population of baby boomers, spending on clinical nutrition is expected to increase.
