摘要:

Senior citizens were surveyed at 11 senior centers in two states to determine their use of fast food restaurants for food and socialization purposes. Six and 11 percent of respondents in New Jersey and Texas, respectively, eat in fast food restaurants at least once a week. One-fifth of respondents in both states frequent fast food restaurants so they do not have to cook. One-quarter of respondents cited economics as the reason for fast food restaurant patronage. The study provided evidence that seniors patronize fast food restaurants in large numbers, have strong reasons for doing so, and their patronage and motivations do not differ geographically.

摘要:

It has been previously suggested that chronic care elderly patients are at increased nutritional risk. However dietary intake studies have not completely supported this statement. To determine usual dietary intakes, 32 elderly patients, mean (±SEM) age 84±1 years, from two hospitals, had 3-day dietary intakes estimated or weighed and analyzed for nutrient composition. The group as a whole had low intakes of dietary fibre but intakes of other nutrients were equal to or greater than the Canadian recommendations. The distribution of macronutrients also met recommended guidelines. In general, this group of elderly patients appeared to be eating well, however some individual results suggest nutritional risk.
