“…Three level III-2 cohort studies were identified Klein et al, 1997;Wunderlich et al, 2011). According to the NSI, up to 83% of community-dwelling older adults were at high risk of malnutrition (Ballard et al, 2013;Benedict et al, 1999;Coulston et al, 1996;Ledikwe et al, 2003;Lokken et al, 2002;Marshall et al, 1999;Marshall et al, 2001;Sharkey and Haines, 2001;Sharkey et al, 2000;Weatherspoon et al, 2004;Yap et al, 2007).…”

“…A nutrition assessment tool, the Patient Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) was further employed to evaluate the extent of malnutrition risk in the study (Leggo et al, 2008). Other successful approaches to improve older adults' nutritional status include group nutrition education, which involved cooking demonstrations and group discussions, as well as telephone counselling (Wunderlich et al, 2011).…”

“…This review identified that nutrition information resources were made available for older adults in five studies Burge and Gazibarich, 1999;Southgate et al, 2010;Wunderlich et al, 2011). Printed materials were most commonly used in order to deliver nutrition information; namely pamphlets, healthy eating booklets and flyers; and a one year subscription to a nutrition newsletter.…”

In the USA, 68% of MOW clients were able to maintain their physical function and minimise adverse effects of malnutrition with the help of a MOW service (Herndon, 1995).…”

Introduction Nutrition screening is an initial procedure in which the risk of malnutrition is identified. The aims of this review were to identify malnutrition risk from nutrition screening studies that have used validated nutrition screening tools in community living older adults; and to identify types of nutrition interventions, pathways of care and patient outcomes following screening. Methods A systematic literature search was performed for the period from January 1994 until December 2013 using SCOPUS, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed and COCHRANE databases as well as a manual search. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined for the literature searches and the methodology followed the PRISMA guidelines. Results Fiftyfour articles were eligible to be included in the review and malnutrition risk varied from 0% to 83%. This large range was influenced by the different tools used and heterogeneity of study samples. Most of the studies were cross sectional and without a subsequent nutrition intervention component. Types of nutrition intervention that were identified included dietetics care, nutrition education, and referral to Meals on Wheels services and community services. These interventions helped to improve the' nutritional status of older adults. Conclusions Timely nutrition screening of older adults living in the community, if followed up with appropriate intervention and monitoring improves the nutritional status of older adults. This indicates that nutrition intervention should be considered a priority following nutrition screening for malnourished and at risk older adults. Further evaluation of outcomes of nutrition screening and associated interventions, using structured pathways of care, is warranted.

Background Culinary nutrition education programs are increasingly used as a public health intervention for older adults. These programs often integrate nutrition education in addition to interactive cooking workshops or displays to create programs suitable for older adults’ needs, ability and behaviour change. Synthesising the existing literature on nutrition education and interactive cooking programs for older adults is important to guide future program development to support healthy ageing. Objectives To determine the extent of published literature and report the characteristics and outcomes of interactive culinary nutrition education programs for older adults (> 51 years). Design This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines recommended for reporting and conducting a scoping review. Methods Five databases were searched of relevant papers published to May 2022 using a structured search strategy. Inclusion criteria included: older adults (≥ 51 years), intervention had both an interactive culinary element and nutrition education and reported dietary outcome. Titles and abstracts were screened by two reviewers, followed by full-text retrieval. Data were charted regarding the characteristics of the program and outcomes assessed. Results A total of 39 articles met the full inclusion criteria. The majority of these studies (n= 23) were inclusive of a range of age groups where older adults were the majority but did not target older adults exclusively. There were large variations in the design of the programs such as the number of classes (1 to 20), duration of programs (2 weeks to 2 years), session topics, and whether a theoretical model was used or not and which model. All programs were face-to-face (n= 39) with only two programs including alternatives or additional delivery approaches beside face-to-face settings. The most common outcomes assessed were dietary behaviour, dietary intake and anthropometrics. Conclusion Culinary nutrition education programs provide an environment to improve dietary habits and health literacy of older adults. However, our review found that only a small number of programs were intentionally designed for older adults. This review provides a summary to inform researchers and policy makers on current culinary nutrition education programs for older adults. It also recommends providing face-to-face alternatives that will be accessible to a wider group of older adults with fewer restrictions.

Nutrition risk factors among home delivered and congregate meal participants: Need for enhancement of nutrition education and counseling among home delivered meal participants

Abstract: Appropriate nutrition intervention for both HDM and CGM participants can improve health condition and delay chronic diseases. HDM participants need to be a primary focus for more effective nutrition education and counseling.
