Abstract

A study was made of the effects of community nutrition services on 234 noninstitutional elderly aged 65 or older. Many of the problems were related to overweight and longstanding inappropriate food habits. The results indicated that counselling can stimulate an increased awareness of nutrition and improvement in the knowledge of nutrition and food selection. These elderly persons seemed to have a definite desire to achieve good health and were receptive to the nutritionist's recommendations. However, economic and physical limitations often influence their ability to adhere to the recommendations. In counselling the elderly, the nutritionist should be able to made a quick assessment of the elderly person's physical capabilities.

摘要

一项针对234名65岁及以上非机构养老老年人的社区营养服务效果研究。许多问题都与超重和长期不恰当的饮食习惯有关。结果表明，咨询可以激发对营养的更高认识，并改善营养和食物选择方面的知识。这些老年人似乎确实有获得健康的愿望，并且愿意接受营养师的建议。然而，经济和身体限制常常影响他们坚持这些建议的能力。在为老年人提供咨询时，营养师应该能够快速评估老年人的身体能力。
