Course overview

Failure to thrive (FTT) is a clinical syndrome characterized by inadequate growth or weight gain in children, or significant weight loss and functional decline in older adults. In pediatrics, FTT may result from nutritional deficiencies, chronic illness, psychosocial factors, or metabolic disorders. In geriatric populations, FTT is often multifactorial, associated with chronic disease, medication side effects, cognitive decline, or social determinants of health. This course provides healthcare professionals with strategies for early recognition, assessment, intervention, and ongoing management in both pediatric and geriatric patients.
