摘要:

An experimental study was conducted to examine the relationship between a nutrition education program and nutrition knowledge and eating behaviors of older adults. Twenty-four sub- 'ects were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. brior to any intervention, all subjects completed a demograph. data sheet, a 25-item TrueFalse questionnaire and a 24-Hour Dietary Recall interview. The experimental group attended four one-hour nutrition education classes over a two-week period. Followin 7 the educational intervention, both groups of subjects again comp eted the TrueFalse questionnaire and the 24-Hour Dietary Recall interview. Controlling for pretest, posttest differences on the two dependent variables were tested using repeated measures analysis of variance. No significant differences were found between the two groups.

摘要:

A cross-sectional survey of an age-stratified random Sam le of 619 independently-living adults (307 males, 312 females) age f 60 years and over, living in Toronto was conducted. Detailed dietary data was collected from three sets of 3-day food records. The mean energy and nutrient intakes appeared to be adequate. However intake of many participants was low, while their fat intake the energy was igh. The nutrients of concern for inadequate intakes were calcium, vitamin D and vitamin A. Intakes of zinc, vitamin C and protein were low for a smaller group. Nutrition education is recommended to provide guidance for choosing healthy diets.

摘要:

To examine supplement purchase practices and attitudes toward supplements of rural and urban elderly. two questionnaires were designed. One questionnaire included demographic questions, an attitude scale, and questions concerning supplement purchases and sources of information about nutrition, The second questionnaire contained an advertisement about calcium supplements followed by questions regarding means to "improve calcium" and health concerns. The rural elderly had a significantly lower mean education level and a significantly higher number of misconceptions. The average expenditures on supplements were $52.00 per month for the total group and sources of information were media, physicians, family and friends. In response to the advertisement, nearly one-third of the respondents reported that they would be unlikely to take calcium supplements to improve calcium even though 86.7% stated they would take calcium supplements to prevent health problems and 51.7% believed there could be dangers in taking calcium supplements. The most commonly reported means to improve calcium were to increase milk and to eat cheese (86.7% each). Contradictions in the responses may indicate that these elderly are susceptible to advertising implying supplements are needed to prevent health problems.

摘要:

The objective of the study was to determine the effect on energy intake and appetite of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), commonly used by the elderly to treat arthritis. In a double blind crossover study, 23 free-living osteoarthritic patients 60 years of age or older were treated for two-week intervals with a mean daily ASA intake of 2.44 and 1.29 grams, respective1 . Twenty healthy persons d similar in age, taking no medication, an matched in sociocultural characteristics were included as a control group. Appetite was measured directly, using a visual analogue scale, and indirectly by calculating energy intake from three-day food records. Varying the dose of ASA was without effect on appetite and food energy intake; however, as appetite was rated lower by the medicated osteoarthritic than by the healthy group, although the energy intakes were not significantly different, the former should be considered as potentially at nutritional risk.

摘要:

As funds become increasingly scarce, an effective nutrition education method which reaches large numbers of elderly individuals is appropriate. A nutrition works op was provided for 30 managers of government-sponsored nutrition centers for the elderly in a 5-county area. The workshop curriculum, determined after interests of both center managers and participants at the nutrition centers were assessed, was presented in a packet of materials to each workshop attendee and supplemented with explanations and demonstrations. A pre- and post-test evaluation instrument, which included videotaped simulations of typical nutritional situations encountered with elderly persons at the centers, was used to measure attitudes and knowledge before and after the workshop. As a result of the workshop, knowledge increased significantly as measured by the test instrument and 75% of the managers reported use of materials and ideas during the 5 months following the workshop.
