摘要:

Forty noninstitutionalized elderly subjects, ages 65-86 years, were recruited for a study to determine relationships between nutritional status, physical activity, and blood pressure. A 24-hour recall of dietary intake and activities, health history, skinfolds, circumferences, height, weight, and blood pressure were obtained. Obesity was associated with hypertension in this group of elderly subjects. Truncal skinfolds (abdomen and subscapula) were positively correlated (P<.05) with systolic blood pressure while body mass index, dietary magnesium and dietary calcium to magnesium ratio were directly related (P.05) with blood pressure in this study; however, the level of activity did not include strenuous exercise.

摘要:

Dietary intake and self-assessed chewing difficulty were examined in a postal survey of a random sample of 1000 people aged 65 years and over residing in Adelaide, South Australia, by means of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The response rate was 77 per cent. Fourteen per cent of the respondents reported poorly fitting dentures, and of these 35% reported difficulty in chewing. Dietary intake was largely independent of self-assessed chewing difficulty, although among women loss of chewing efficiency was associated with preference for sweet and soft foods. Dietary differences in people dissatisfied with their chewing ability appear likely to be subtle and qualitative (i.e., chopping hard foods into small pieces or cooking them for longer periods).

摘要:

The contribution of the various food groups to the nutrient intakes of a group of independently-living elderly individuals in Toronto is described. The pattern of meal and food intakes generally provided enough of the nutrients, excepting calcium, to meet the Recommended Nutrient Intakes for Canadians. Mean energy intake was low. It is suggested that if relatively small amounts of the foods ingested at the different meals are raised, it will likely provide enough energy and all the nutrients to satisfy the recommended levels of intake.

摘要:

The Executive Office of Elder Affairs and the Department of Food and Agriculture in Massachusetts sponsored the first statewide Farmers' Market Coupon Program for Elders in the summer of 1988. This innovative program provided fresh fruits and vegetables to over nine thousand elders across the Commonwealth. Coupons were targeted towards low income elders by thirteen local nutrition projects. Special nutrition education materials were designed to enhance the program.

摘要:

This essay explores the association between nutritional problems and political orientations and behavior among the elderly. A rural sample of 358 older Americans provides the data base. Results indicate that as nutritional problems increase, political interest, efficacy, and participation decrease. Also, nutritional problems seem to go along with less positive evaluations of the existing order.
