Researchers at Boston University suggest that 60% of people with dementia have a visual impairment and that 40% of people with dementia suffer significantweight loss. These two statistics can be linked and researchers have shown that theweight loss can be due, in part, to the loss of ability to distinguish contrast between colours – food on plainwhite plates.When eating and drinkingwith tableware that offers a high contrast colour they found that 84% of patients had an increase in liquid level and 24% had an increase in food intake. This in turn can helpwith reducing constipation, anaemia,mouth sores and can enable a speedier recovery fromillness or surgery. Using the coloured crockery shown on this page and a bright coloured non-slipmat (see page 252 - 253) can encourage peoplewith dementia and/or visual impairment to eat and drink.
