Research Notes on Appetite Loss


Appetite loss that lasts longer than a day can be cause for concern. Loss of appetite could be indicative of a more serious problem that may require medical attention. Diseases such as cancer, infections, and pregnancy are just some of the reasons that a person may experience a decreased appetite.1 An extended period of appetite loss could eventually lead to malnutrition.

Fast Facts:

  • Mood, weight loss, and fever should all be noted during this period.1
  • Blood tests, x-rays, and urine tests may be necessary to determine the cause of appetite loss.1
  • Medications may be used to stimulate an individual's appetite.
