In 1988 SENECA (Survey in Europe on Nutrition and the Elderly, a Concerted Action) was initiated to study cross cultural differences in nutritional issues and life style factors affecting health and performance of elderly Europeans. Nine of the original 19 participating towns in 12 European countries decided to conduct a longitudinal study. This supplement presents the findings of the second data collection period and the first longitudinal analyses of these nine towns. In addition, cross-sectional results are discussed for two towns from which few baseline data were collected, and for two towns which were only involved in the 1993 survey: one from the United Kingdom and one from the United States. Ethical permission for the studies was obtained from local ethical committees.
1988年启动了SENECA（欧洲营养与老年人调查，一项协同行动），以研究影响欧洲老年人健康和机能的营养问题及生活方式因素的跨文化差异。12个欧洲国家最初参与的19个城镇中有9个决定开展一项纵向研究。本增刊展示了这9个城镇第二个数据收集期的研究结果以及首次纵向分析结果。此外，还讨论了另外两个城镇的横断面研究结果，其中一个城镇几乎没有收集到基线数据，另一个城镇只参与了1993年的调查：一个来自英国，一个来自美国。这些研究均获得了当地伦理委员会的伦理许可。
