The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of recent widowhood on nutritional behaviors. Fifty recently widowed persons over the age of 60 and 50 married subjects of similar age were interviewed on eating behaviors, focusing on changes since widowhood or within 2 years for the married persons. Widowed subjects completed the Grief Resolution Index, and all subjects recorded dietary intake for 3 days. Data were analyzed using nutrient analysis, correlation coefficients, chi square analysis, and t-tests. The results indicate that widowhood changed the social environment of our subjects, altering the social meaning that eating held for them and producing negative effects on eating behaviors and nutrient intakes.
本研究的目的是确定近期丧偶对营养行为的影响。对50名60岁以上近期丧偶者和50名年龄相仿的已婚者进行了饮食行为访谈，重点关注丧偶后或已婚者在两年内的变化。丧偶者完成了悲伤解决指数，所有受试者记录了3天的饮食摄入量。使用营养分析、相关系数、卡方分析和t检验对数据进行了分析。结果表明，丧偶改变了我们受试者的社会环境，改变了饮食对他们的社会意义，并对饮食行为和营养摄入产生了负面影响。
