摘要:

This study examined the habits and attitudes of a group of people aged 65 and over, in relation to their dietary beliefs and habits when compared with younger individuals. It was found that these older people had similar attitudes to food as those under 65, and these were in line with dietary advice given by health promotion experts. However they had not changed their habits to the same extent, nor did they intend to do so. Reasons for these findings are discussed.

摘要:

Although elder adults are much more knowledgeable about nutrition than ever before, diet behavior is not consistent with nutrition knowledge. One of the reasons for this inconsistency may be that the ability to apply technical nutrition knowledge is still inadequate. To test the hypothesis that technical nutrition knowledge is superior to applied nutrition knowledge, 96 volunteer seniors were given technical nutrition knowledge tests associated with heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure. After the technical knowledge tests, subjects were asked to choose from among pairs the item that contained: (a) cholesterol, (b) more saturated fat, (c) more polyunsaturated fat, (d) substances that help to lower blood cholesterol, (e) more fiber, and (f) less sodium. Results support the notion that, in general, elder ability to apply nutrition knowledge is not as adequate as their technical nutrition knowledge.

摘要:

This paper outlines the modification of the Nutritional Questionnaire for Older Adults (NQOA) to determine the extent to which knowledge and attitude can predict dietary adequacy. Aged adults (65 years or older) who participate in the Title III-C congregate meal program at a small community Senior Center in Alabama (n = 22) served as subjects for this study. Knowledge and attitude were shown to be weak predictors of dietary adequacy with regard to specific components, but were found to significantly predict adequate nutritional intake as measured by both RDA an by food group standards.

摘要:

The goal of this exploratory investigation was to describe views related to diet and cancer prevention among the residents of a southwestern retirement community. Ethnographic interviews were conducted with twelve residents, providing over 500 data bits for this investigation. Several categories representative of the elders' views related to diet and cancer prevention were identified using content analysis. These included Determinants of food choices, Vigilance and diet and Expectations related to diet and cancer prevention. Two cultural themes illustrated the semantic relationships among the categories: "It's not easy to change your diet, especially when you are all alone," and "Eating right helps you resist disease but it is just too late for us." As diet becomes a primary means of reducing one's risk for certain types of cancer, the informed expertise of nutrition educators and health practitioners is needed to assist the public in adopting dietary guidelines. Qualitative data, as presented here, will be useful in developing effective education materials to meet this need.

摘要:

A retrospective chart review of Medicare patients was conducted to investigate possible variables which might contribute to rehospitalization of the patient within 15 days of prior discharge. If variables could be identified it might be possible to prevent the readmission through proactive measures. The findings revealed that variables reoccurred as the charts were reviewed and out of those several were nutrition-related. Further studies must be conducted to determine if nutrition and appropriate nutrition care is included in discharge planning.

摘要:

The focus group interview technique provides indepth information on a specific topic in a group discussion setting and can be effectively used with older adults. Successful focus group interviews include careful question preparation and participant recruitment as well as securing a capable moderator and comfortable setting. The technique is used as a preliminary research step to elicit feelings, attitudes and perceptions about a topic. However, results should not be generalized without further quantitative research.
