The answer is the first one (A): They may express that the food does not have any flavor.

Explanation: A. They may express that the food does not have any flavor. - Correct. Older adults often experience a decrease in the number of taste buds and changes in taste perception, which can lead to food tasting bland or having no flavor.

B. They may have an increased appetite. - Incorrect. Changes in taste perception typically do not lead to an increased appetite; in fact, they may lead to a decreased appetite because food is less enjoyable.

C. They may have trouble swallowing. - Incorrect. Trouble swallowing, or dysphagia, is generally related to other factors such as neurological or muscular issues, not directly to changes in taste.

Summary: Older adults experiencing changes in taste may find that food does not have any flavor, which is the best answer to the question.
