Hidden Hunger: Solutions for America’s Aging Populations
The global population, including the United States, is experiencing a demographic shift with the proportion of older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) growing faster than any other age group. This demographic group is at higher risk for developing nutrition-related chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes as well as infections such as influenza and pneumonia. As a result, an emphasis on nutrition is instrumental for disease risk reduction. Unfortunately, inadequate nutrient status or deficiency, often termed hidden hunger, disproportionately affects older adults because of systematic healthcare, environmental, and biological challenges. This report summarizes the unique nutrition challenges facing the aging population and identifies strategies, interventions, and policies to address hidden hunger among the older adults, discussed at the scientific symposium “Hidden Hunger: Solutions for America’s Aging Population”, on March 23, 2018

KELT-17B: A HOT-JUPITER TRANSITING AN A-STAR IN A MISALIGNED ORBIT DETECTED WITH DOPPLER TOMOGRAPHY
We present the discovery of a hot-Jupiter transiting the V=9.23 mag
main-sequence A-star KELT-17 (BD+14 1881). KELT-17b is a 1.31 -0.29/+0.28 Mj,
1.525 -0.060/+0.065 Rj hot-Jupiter in a 3.08 day period orbit misaligned at
-115.9 +/- 4.1 deg to the rotation axis of the star. The planet is confirmed
via both the detection of the radial velocity orbit, and the Doppler
tomographic detection of the shadow of the planet over two transits. The nature
of the spin-orbit misaligned transit geometry allows us to place a constraint
on the level of differential rotation in the host star; we find that KELT-17 is
consistent with both rigid-body rotation and solar differential rotation rates
(alpha < 0.30 at 2 sigma significance). KELT-17 is only the fourth A-star with
a confirmed transiting planet, and with a mass of 1.635 -0.061/+0.066 Msun,
effective temperature of 7454 +/- 49 K, and projected rotational velocity v sin
I_* = 44.2 -1.3/+1.5 km/s; it is amongst the most massive, hottest, and most
rapidly rotating of known planet hosts.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in A
