摘要:

Purposes were to assess the effectiveness of an instrument designed to measure nutrition knowledge of older adults, and to use this instrument to compare nutrition krowledge of older adults according to age, sex, education, occupation and sources of nutrition information. A 24-item nutrition knowledge test was adapted for use with older adults, and was administered to 104 subjects (60 years of age and older) from two senior citizen centers in a medium-sized Midwestern community. Data were analyzed using an item analysis to determine the best and poorest items, and one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) to test for significant differences in nutrition knowledge by selected socio-demographic variables. The results revealed that the raw scores of the nutrition knowledge test ranged from 4 to 20 with a mean of 13.17 and standard deviation of 3.74. Eighteen items met the item analysis criteria, while the remaining six items were judged as poor. The results of the ANOVA showed significant differences in nutrition knowledge by educational level and occupation, with those with college education backgrounds and professional occupations having higher scores than other groups. Findings suggest that objective tests can be developed and used with older adult audiences, and that nutrition education efforts need to be focused on older adults from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

摘要:

The study was conducted to compare the food and nutrient intake of institutionalized and noninstitutionalized elderly from the same geographical area. Data were obtained using food weighing-recall method and interview. Sixty elderly in the same section of Quezon City, Philippines participated in the study: thirty from a government institution for the elderly and thirty from among those living with their families. Both groups failed to meet the Philippine Recommended Daily Allowances for energy and the eight nutrients considered. However, the average diet of the noninstitutionalized elderly was more nutritionally adequate than that of the institutionalized.

摘要:

The impact of nutrition education, peer support and several pre-intervention psycho-social variables upon weight change and glycemic control were assessed in older, noninsulin-dependent diabetic patients. Significant weight reductions were observed in persons who participated in the combined nutrition education and peer support program. No significant changes were observed in glycemic control. Several psycho-social variables were significantly correlated with reductions in weight and improvement in glycemic control. Implications for future research and intervention programs for older persons with nutrition related diseases are presented.
