To determine the nutrition risk prevalence and associated health and social risk factors amongst community-living Māori and non-Māori older adults in New Zealand.
As part of the 2014 Health, Work and Retirement postal survey, 2914 community-living older adults (749 Māori) aged 49-87 years completed the Seniors in the Community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition (SCREEN II-AB) to determine nutrition risk status and sociodemographic and health measures.
Half (50.2%) of Māori and 32.7% of non-Māori were at nutrition risk. Independent risk factors were as follows: for Māori, being unpartnered and rating general health as fair, and for non-Māori, being unpartnered and rating general health as fair or poor, lower life satisfaction, higher number of health conditions and emotional loneliness.
Findings highlight the need for culturally appropriate intervention strategies, which provide opportunity for older adults to eat with others, especially for those who are unpartnered and lonely.
确定新西兰社区居住的毛利族和非毛利族老年人的营养风险患病率以及相关的健康和社会风险因素。
作为2014年健康、工作与退休邮政调查的一部分，2914名年龄在49 - 87岁的社区居住老年人（749名毛利人）完成了《社区老年人：饮食与营养风险评估》（SCREEN II - AB），以确定营养风险状况以及社会人口统计学和健康指标。
一半（50.2%）的毛利人和32.7%的非毛利人存在营养风险。独立风险因素如下：对于毛利人，单身且自我评估总体健康状况为一般；对于非毛利人，单身且自我评估总体健康状况为一般或较差、生活满意度较低、健康问题较多以及存在情感孤独感。
研究结果凸显了制定具有文化适宜性的干预策略的必要性，这些策略应为老年人提供与他人一起用餐的机会，尤其是那些单身且孤独的老年人。
