The elderly person brings with him a lifetime of food preferences. For him, nutritional adequacy is dependent upon continuation of similar underlying influences and the varying conditions which determine the food intake of any group. The significance of individuality cannot be minimized in assessing nutritional well-being and in developing a plan of action. Among the factors affecting food acceptance and health status are foods which are foods which are considered "soul" by some persons. Recognition of, and respect for, individual food preferences can be invaluable to members of the health professions in providing services to aging Americans.
老年人有着一生的食物偏好。对他来说，营养充足取决于类似的潜在影响因素的持续存在以及决定任何群体食物摄入量的各种不同条件。在评估营养状况和制定行动计划时，个性的重要性不可忽视。在影响食物接受度和健康状况的因素中，有些食物被一些人视为“心灵慰藉”。认识并尊重个人的食物偏好，对于健康专业人员为美国老年人提供服务而言可能具有极大价值。
