“…The significant relationship between subjective health and nutritional state (r s =0.212, p≤.01) was also found by Gouveia and Oliveira (2014) whom verified a subjective health evaluation poorer in the undernourished group. In our study, there are no differences in the nutritional score in the individuals that lived and not lived alone, on the contrary of what has been shown at work where undernutrition high risk subjects revealed higher frequency of phone calls and visitants by comparison with the undernourished group (Tsubota-Utsugi et al, 2015). Quandt, McDonald, Arcury, Bell and Vitolins (2000) conclude that the marital state influence suggest that widows are nutritionally vulnerable, due to meal omission, reduced home cooking and lesser diet variety in bought food, but we didn't found this influence.…”

The individual is an active agent on his/her own aging process and decisions about his/her behavioral repertoires determine the capacity for healthy aging. So, an intervention is possible to modify intentional and positively such behaviors. An active lifestyle and healthy diet are factors that contribute to longevity and quality of life of the elderly, because of their impact in active aging. This study aims to assess the impact of individual variables of the elderly in physical activity and nutritional status, and the relationship between them. The sample included 73 participants aged 73.8 ± 6.6, and 71.2% women. The instruments used were the Baecke Questionnaire Modified (QBM) and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF). While in domestic activities the highest scores were observed in women, sports activities occurred among those not living alone. The overall score showed higher values in younger participants. The subjective health correlated positively with domestic and sports activities. Health perception and marital status were shown to be related with the nutritional status (p≤.05). Participants with normal nutritional status showed, in general, a more positive health perception. There was a positive correlation between nutritional status and household chores. We found positive effects of physical activity in this age group and recommend the need to promote interventions both in this area and in the nutritional status, particularly in certain groups of elderly people.

“…Living arrangements could have a direct effect on dietary attitude. Those who live in a one-generational household have been proven to have a poor dietary habit because of their psychosocial circumstances, such as frequent solitary eating and less family care, all of which may exacerbate poor selection of food [29,30].…”

Objectives: To examine sex differences in the association between food label unawareness and loss of renal function among South Korean diabetic patients aged ≥30 year and determine whether reading food labels when choosing which food products to consume plays a potential role in slowing the progression of renal disease. Methods: Data from the 2016–2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used for the analysis. Renal function was determined by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease estimated glomerular filtration rate, and food label unawareness was defined as being unaware of the food label when choosing a food product for consumption. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the association between food label unawareness and loss of renal function among South Korean diabetic patients. Results: Four hundred and eighty-seven diabetic patients (men: 274; women: 213) were enrolled. Loss of renal function was associated with food label unawareness in only male diabetic patients (men: β = –10.01, standard error (SE) = 5.08, p = 0.0506; women: β = –0.30, SE = 5.14, p = 0.9528). A strong association was found between loss of renal function and food label unawareness among socially isolated male diabetic patients who lived in a one-generational household, did not have a spouse, and ate alone. Conclusion: Cultivating habits of reading food labels and inducing social facilitation may play a potential role in managing loss of renal function among male diabetic patients.

“…People living alone are more likely to report eating alone than those living with others [10]. Studies considering cohabitation situations have suggested that living alone is associated with poor dietary intake relative to living with a spouse [16]. Because several studies have found that eating alone is associated with poor dietary intake [17,18], the association between eating alone and health status may differ depending on cohabitation situation.…”

Background: This study investigated the association between eating alone at each meal and health status including functional capacity according to cohabitation situation among Japanese community-dwelling elderly.Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Keeping Active across Generations Uniting the Youth and the Aged (KAGUYA) study in Japan. A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to all 8004 residents aged 65 or older residing in the same Japanese town the participants in March 2016. Eating alone was assessed by first asking whether participants ate three separate meals each day (i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and those who answered affirmatively were then asked how many people were usually present at each meal. Health status was assessed in terms of subjective health, medical history, care needs, body mass index, depression, and functional capacity.Results: Data from 3057 respondents were analyzed. Among those living with others, those who reported not being in good subjective health and a history of hypertension were significantly more likely to eat alone at breakfast (odds ratio 1.27; 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.61, and 1.26; 1.06–1.49). Depressive symptoms and many subscales of functional capacity were also significantly associated with eating alone at breakfast, lunch, and dinner (P < 0.05). Among those living alone, those eating alone at breakfast had lower scores for indicators of functional capacity including information practice (P = 0.010) and total scores (P = 0.049).Conclusions: For both cohabitation situations, many health status indicators were related to eating alone at each meal, especially breakfast.

Living situations associated with poor dietary intake among healthy japanese elderly: The ohasama study

Abstract: These findings revealed that elderly people living alone as well as those living with family other than a spouse had poor dietary intake, suggesting that strategies to improve food choices and skills for food preparation could promote of healthy eating in elderly Japanese people.
