The nutrient intake of 20 independent and 18 dependent elderly persons is assessed in nursing home long-stay wards of a Melbourne geriatric teaching hospital. An assessment of the specific nutrient densities of the diet and comparison with recommended nutrient densities indicates that, not only is nutrient intake compromised because of low intakes of food energy, but also the quality of the diet is unsatisfactory. In institutional studies, those aged persons receiving supervision at meal times consume a more adequate diet than those able to feed themselves.
在墨尔本一家老年病教学医院的养老院长期护理病房中，对20名独立生活和18名依赖他人生活的老年人的营养摄入情况进行了评估。对饮食中特定营养密度的评估以及与推荐营养密度的比较表明，不仅由于食物能量摄入低导致营养摄入不足，而且饮食质量也不尽人意。在机构研究中，那些在进餐时间接受监督的老年人比能够自行进食的老年人饮食更充足。
