This qualitative article presents and compares the views of older prisoners and expert stakeholders on the topic of nutrition and exercise. The study highlights measures for improving the health of older prisoners. Older prisoners report the need to improve quality of meals provided in prison. They note that prison food is of poor quality and not adapted to their needs. With regard to exercise, they point out the lack of proper opportunities to engage in exercise and sports, and describe several factors that make physical activities either unsuitable or unfeasible. Expert stakeholders see prison as an opportunity to improve the health of those convicted of crimes. In light of the increasing number of older prisoners, age-appropriate nutritional and exercise interventions should take priority in prisons.
这篇定性文章呈现并比较了老年囚犯和专家利益相关者对营养与锻炼话题的看法。该研究强调了改善老年囚犯健康状况的措施。老年囚犯报告称需要改善监狱提供的膳食质量。他们指出监狱食物质量差且不符合他们的需求。关于锻炼，他们指出缺乏适当的锻炼和运动机会，并描述了几个使体育活动不合适或不可行的因素。专家利益相关者将监狱视为改善犯罪定罪者健康的一个机会。鉴于老年囚犯数量不断增加，适合年龄的营养和锻炼干预措施应在监狱中优先实施。
