Abstract

Protein intakes of advanced age Mäori participating in Te Puäwaitanga o Ngä Tapuwae Kia Ora Tonu (LiLACS NZ) are presented. Detailed dietary assessments were completed by 216 Mäori men and women aged 81-91 years using a repeat 24-hour multiple pass recall. Nutrient intakes were analysed using FOODfiles 2010. Among this cohort of older Mäori men and women, the highest contributors of protein intake were fish and seafood, meat and poultry. By contrast, bread, followed by milk, beef and veal were the main protein source in men and women over 70 years
