Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Maintaining good nutrition is vital for healthy ageing. Poor nutrition increases the risk of hospitalisation, disability and mortality. Research shows clinical malnutrition is preceded by a state of nutritional risk and screening can identify older people at risk of poor nutrition or who currently have impaired nutritional status. AIM: To assess the population prevalence of nutritional risk amongst community-living Maori and non-Maori older people in Hawke’s Bay. METHODS: A postal survey of 1268 people aged 65 years or older on the electoral roll for Hawke’s Bay was conducted. Nutritional risk was measured using the SCREEN II questionnaire. RESULTS: Responses from 473 people were received (43.8% male, 49.9% female, 6.3% unspecified) with an estimated average age of 74 years. Nutritional risk was present amongst 56.5% of older people with 23.7% at risk and 32.8% at high risk. Maori were 5.2 times more likely to be at nutritional risk than non-Maori. Older people living alone were 3.5 times more likely to be at nutritional risk than those living with others. The most frequent risk factors were low milk-product intake, perception of own weight being more or less than it should be, and low meat and alternatives intake. Skipping meals and low fruit and vegetable intake were additional frequent risk factors for Maori. DISCUSSION: Both living situation and ethnicity are associated with nutritional risk. Further investigation is needed to confirm these findings and to determine issues specific for older Maori, including barriers to good nutrition and opportunities for nutritional improvement. KEYWORDS: Maori; nutritional status; older people

Abstract:
As a population subgroup, older people are more vulnerable to malnutrition especially those who are institutionalised. Recognition of deteriorating or poor nutritional status is key in reversing the effects of undernutrition and reinforces the value of regular weight checks and/or the use of screening tools. Commercially produced supplements are often the first option used to address undernutrition in both acute and community settings. They can be expensive and, although regularly prescribed, have undergone only limited evaluation of their effectiveness in community settings. An alternative but less researched approach to improve the nutritional status of undernourished people is food fortification. This approach may be particularly useful for older people, given their often small appetites. The ability to eat independently has been significantly related to decreased risk of undernutrition. Assisting people who have difficulty feeding themselves independently should become a designated duty and may be crucial in optimising nutritional status. Lack of nutrition knowledge has been identified as the greatest barrier to the provision of good nutritional care. Education and training of care staff are pivotal for the success of any intervention to address undernutrition. The development of undernutrition is a multi-factorial process and a package of approaches may be required to prevent or treat undernutrition. Nutrition must be at the forefront of care if national care standards are to be met.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine nutrition knowledge of elderly congregate meal site participants with particular interest directed towards nutrition risk levels and the demographic characteristics of education, age, and gender. The population utilized in this study were 120 elderly, both male and female, over the age of 60 years who attended ten congregate meal sites in Allen County, Indiana and who volunteered to participate. The researcher administered a 25 question nutrition knowledge survey and the 10 question Determine Your Nutritional Health Checklist at the meal sites. The study was designed to determine if there was a significant difference in nutrition knowledge among elderly at congregate meal sites who exhibit varying nutrition risk, education, and age levels and between elderly men and women. The conclusion was that there was a significant difference between nutrition knowledge of men and women with women scoring more correct answers on the survey. Although not shown statistically other preliminary findings suggest the need for further research; a greater proportion of females than males were in the lowest nutrition risk level; the 60-74 years olds had a higher nutrition knowledge average score than did the two older groups. Further, those with 9-11 years of education and in the lowest nutrition risk level (all females) had the highest nutrition knowledge score; and males with less than eight years of education had the lowest nutrition knowledge score and a preponderance of those were in the moderate or high risk level. The researcher also concluded that more nutrition education is needed for these participants, but it must be geared to their learning level to be effective.

Abstract:
It is well established that vitamin D contributes to bone health. New evidence from cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies and a few clinical trials suggest that vitamin D status may play a role in functional capacity declining with age; however, there are some gaps in these studies yet to be examined. Little is known about vitamin D status in healthy, free-living, older people in North America. Older individuals may be more vulnerable due to low vitamin D intake and limited endogenous synthesis. Thus, the objectives of this thesis were to (i) determine the distribution of serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations in healthy older people living in Québec and determine how season, age, sex and supplement consumption affect this distribution; (ii) determine to what extent vitamin D intake from foods, supplements and proxy measure of sunlight exposure explain the variation in serum 25(OH)D concentrations, controlling for the effects of age and sex; and determine the dietary predictors of optimal concentration of 25(OH)D; and (iii) examine whether vitamin D status can predict change in functional decline capacity over 1 and 2 years, controlling for season and other potential confounders. Data for this study have been obtained from a random sampling of 405 participants from the NuAge cohort study of 1793 independently-living men and women aged 68 to 82 years at baseline. The NuAge sample is a stratified sample of participants in three age categories 70 ± 2 years, 75 ± 2 years and 80 ± 2 years with approximately equivalent numbers of men and women in each group. For objective (i), a cross-sectional design was applied. Serum 25(OH)D was assessed using radioimmunoassay. Data were analyzed controlling for age, sex, season and other potential confounders. For objective (ii), six 24-hour recalls were obtained for the same subjects as the first study also in a cross-sectional design. In addition to nutrient intake, foods were grouped into 6 food group
Il est bien établi que la vitamine D contribue à la santé osseuse. Des données récentes d'études transversales, de cohortes prospectives et d'essais cliniques suggèrent que la vitamine D pourrait jouer un rôle dans la diminution des capacités fonctionnelles avec l'âge; toutefois, certaines lacunes de ces études n'ont toujours pas été étudiées. On sait peu de choses au sujet des niveaux de vitamine D chez les personnes âgées autonomes, en bonne santé, vivant en Amérique du Nord. Ces personnes peuvent être plus vulnérables aux carences d'une part à cause d'un faible apport en vitamine D et, d'autre part, à cause d'une synthèse endogène limitée. Ainsi, les objectifs de cette thèse étaient de (i) déterminer la distribution des concentrations sériques de 25 hydroxy vitamine D [25 (OH) D] chez les personnes âgées en bonne santé, vivant au Québec et de déterminer comment la saison, l'âge, le sexe et la consommation de suppléments affectent cette distribution; (ii) de déterminer dans quelle mesure l'apport alimentaire de vitamine D, l'apport de suppléments et la saison peuvent expliquer les variations des concentrations sériques de 25 (OH) D, en contrôlant pour les effets de l'âge et du sexe, ainsi que de déterminer l'apport alimentaire idéal de vitamine D pour obtenir un niveau optimal de 25 (OH) D; et, finalement (iii) d'évaluer l'effet de l'état nutritionnel en vitamine D sur la diminution des capacités fonctionnelles pendant 1 et 2 ans, tout en prenant en compte la saison et d'autres variables de confusion potentielles. Cette étude repose sur des données obtenues auprès d'un échantillon aléatoire de 405 participants de l'étude de cohorte NuAge, composée de 1793 hommes et femmes âgés entre 68 et 82 ans au départ, vivant de façon indépendante. Cet échantillon est stratifié selon trois catégories d'âge: 70 ± 2 ans, 75 ± 2 ans et 80 ± 2 ans, avec des nombres comparables d'hommes et de femmes dans chaque gr

Abstract:
The aim of the program was to develop, implement and evaluate a low cost, accessible, sustainable, replicable physical activity and nutrition program that would ultimately reduce chronic disease. The thesis demonstrates the importance of evaluation pre, during and post intervention. The program was successful, data from the intervention group improved in areas of physical activity, dietary behaviours, and anthropometric measures, in comparison to the control group participants.

Abstract:
Energy and nutrient intake from congregate meals (CM), noncongregate meals (NCM) and total daily intake (TDI) was studied for differences associated with age, income, education, marital status, gender, race, vitamin-mineral supplementation, Body Mass Index, Health Assessment, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL).TDI was less than 100 percent of Recommended Dietary Allowances for energy, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Men, single and divorced subjects, and those most educated had significantly greatest intake for various nutrients from CM and TDI; widows had the least. Racial effect was mixed. Young-old had greatest intakes from NCM and TDI. High intake from CM plus NCM did not make TDI adequate.CM was significantly associated with transportation (IADL) and walking (ADL). Those with some problems had lowest nutrient intakes; those with none, the greatest. For toileting (ADL), NCM and TDI intakes were greatest for those with considerable difficulty; lowest for those with some.

Abstract:
Background: Nutrition therapy is considered a key component of diabetes management. Highprotein diets are recently gaining more popularity. Knowledge regarding the potential glycemic effect of protein in people with type 2 diabetes has been a particular interest. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study based on NHANES data collected on participants aged 40 years and older who attended the surveys cohorts of 2011–2012 and 2013–2014. Data on 1058 participants were included in the analysis. Glycemic control was measured as HbA1c level and patients were categorized into quartiles of daily protein intake. Analysis adjusted for age, gender, race and energy intake muscle strength (quartile), sedentary activity, income to poverty ratio, education, smoking, alcohol drinking and BMI. Logistic regression models were produced to investigate the impact of high protein intakes on odds of poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7). Results: After controlling for muscle strength (quartile), sedentary activity, income to poverty ratio, education, smoking, alcohol drinking and BMI; patients in Quartile 4 for protein intake had 260% increased risk for poor glycemic control as compared to those in quartile 1. These results are limited because the analysis did not consider the source of protein (animal vs plant). Further studies are needed.

Abstract:
As life expectancy increases, the likelihood of more falls and fall-related hospitalizations increases with a significant impact on the health system. Given the high incidence of falls in healthy elderly people, in order to prevent them, it is necessary to identify predisposing risk factors, analyze the specific needs of the subjects and use a targeted preventive strategy. This paper investigates the influence of multidimensional health parameters on the fall risk of community-dwelling older people, living in inner areas of Marche Region (Italy). Multidimensional data on the global health of each individual has been collected among several health domains (i.e., mobility, psychological, nutritional, cardiological, social). Statistical analysis has been applied for the assessment of the relationship among the defined health variables and the influence on the fall risk. The binary logistical regression analysis has produced a statistical model with good characteristics of fit and good predictability. The following features have been proven to be strong predictors of fall: female (OR for Gender, 5.526; 95% CI, 1.49–20.53), limited range of movement (OR 3.278; 95% CI, 1.01-10.68), diabetes (OR 4.487; 95% CI, 1.02-19.80), previous syncope (OR 7.686; 95% CI, 1.01-58.55), and body mass index (OR 1.176; 95% CI, 1.03-1.35). Future work will allow the development of a fall prediction index to have a framework of the elder’s global health status and to define a personalized intervention strategy for any adverse event prevention.
