“…Our study showing the higher diet quality in urban older adults, especially for the adequacy of various foods among KHEI items was consistent with other previous studies [22,[31][32][33]. The poor food access in rural older adults could contribute to lower intakes of fruit, milk, and dairy products when compared to urban older adults [15,[34][35][36].…”

This study aimed to examine whether there is an area difference on diet quality among the Korean elderly population. The effect of personal factors on diet quality is also estimated and compared between rural and urban areas. A cross-sectional data from the 2013–2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was used for this study. The participants were older adults aged ≥ 65 years (n = 3207) who participated in the KNHANES. Urban and rural areas classified the region and the Korean Healthy Eating Index (KHEI) assessed the diet quality. Personal factors that were related to diet quality included socio-demographic factors, health behaviors, and health conditions. This study found that the diet quality was different between urban and rural areas in the Korean elderly population, showing a higher mean of KHEI scores in urban areas than rural areas (67.3 for urban seniors, 63.6 for rural seniors, p < 0.001), and the regional difference was still significant, even after adjusting for the personal factors (p < 0.001). Different sets of personal factors were found to be significant that explain the diet quality of participants between areas, such as economic resources, walking exercise, and perceived oral health status in urban areas, and age and food insecurity in rural areas. In conclusions, this study found that there was a regional disparity in diet quality and some personal factors affecting diet quality were dependent on areas, which implied that regional environment with diverse contexts could influence diet quality. These findings emphasize the need to provide targeted intervention programs that take into account both the characteristics of individuals and local food environments in order to improve the overall diet quality in older adults.

“…The nutritional status of older adults is an important factor for improving the quality of life and maintaining a physically healthy life [ 21 ]. Most of the older people in LFs have chronic diseases [ 22 23 24 ] and receive all meals of the day at the facility; therefore, sufficient provision of meals and snacks by the facility could greatly affect the nutritional status of the residents [ 25 ]. Facilities generally provide residents with three meals a day; however, the availability, frequency, and type of snacks provided vary by facility.…”

The study aimed to investigate the basic data to derive plans for snack provision to improve the nutritional status of older adults living in long-term care facilities (LFs) or long-term care hospitals (LHs). The 252 respondents (118 from LHs and 134 from LFs) were included in the study. The questionnaire of nationwide cross-sectional survey was developed by the authors and registered dietitians. The written questionnaire was sent to the food service managers across 800 LFs or LHs. The online survey was introduced using the online platform and network site for dietitians. More than 70% of live-in and non-live-in LFs provided snacks, which were mainly provided one to two times a day. Most institutions provided fruits one to three times a week. The main considerations when providing fruit were in the order of residents’ preference, cost, and ease of consumption. The reasons for not serving fruit included cost and differences in the residents’ eating and mastication abilities. Most institutions also provided dairy products at a frequency of one to three times a week. The reasons for not serving dairy products included cost and the lack of awareness of the need to provide them. To improve the quality of life and the offer benefits of fruits and dairy products to older people, efforts are needed to propose a plan to expand the provision of snacks in appropriate quantities and varieties.

“…The older adults in this class were more likely to be overweight or obese compared with the other two latent classes. Because obesity could be a risk factor for osteoarthritis (Kim & Yun, 2017) and worsens bodily imbalances and unstable gait (Rhi & Chung, 2014), a programme for weight control may also be helpful in preventing falls.…”

Aims This work aimed to classify the elderly according to fall risk factors and to identify the characteristics of the latent classes. Background Falls mainly occur due to combinations of various risk factors, and each older adult has a different combination of risk factors. Design This was a secondary data analysis using data from the 2017 National Survey of Older Persons conducted by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. Methods Latent class analysis and multiple logistic regression were performed using data from 1556 older adults who experienced at least one fall during 1 year (1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016). Indicator variables included eight fall risk factors. Results A 3‐class solution was selected according to acceptable goodness of fit. The ‘healthy falls risk class’ included over half of the cohort, and the comprised older adults did not show typical health problems. The ‘complex falls risk class’ included older people with physical and mental problems, and the ‘musculoskeletal falls risk class’ included older people with osteoarthritis and back pain. Conclusion The results identified combinations of fall risk factors and characteristics among community‐dwelling older adults that may contribute to the planning of effective fall prevention programmes.
