“…When we apply the results of Boult and colleagues (Boult et al, 1999), which posits that a checklist score of 4 or greater is a marker of functional decline or increased depressive symptoms a year later, 31.1% of our sample meet the baseline criteria for risk. Because our previous work with home-delivered meals participants in this county (Sharkey, Haines, & Zohoori, 1999) and the work of Schoenberg and colleagues (1997) show that older Blacks are at higher nutritional risk than comparable Whites, we believe that the level of nutritional risk in our sample is underestimated (Black respondents are only 5.9% of our sample).…”

to address increasing needs for disparate program services is linked to determining which older people are most likely to be at nutritional risk and what constitutes the potential risk. The purpose of this study is to characterize nutritional risk factors in a probability sample of rural elders (n = 152) through telephone interviews using a 67-question modified version of the Nutrition Screening Initiative's Level I and II screens. Participants reported high levels of unintentional weight loss, medication use, multiple health conditions, and depression. This study demonstrates that comprehensive information on general health, eating habits, living environment, and functional status can be collected from rural elders by telephone. Because much of the reported nutritional risk in this sample occurs in residents living in areas not receiving nutrition services, expanded nutritional risk data can be used to anticipate need for programs and services in areas not presently served. The risk for malnutrition is a growing health problem among a large proportion of older people (

The ConsuMEER study: a randomised trial towards the effectiveness of protein-rich ready-made meals and protein-rich dairy products in increasing protein intake of community-dwelling older adults after switching from self-prepared meals towards ready-made meals

The risk of undernutrition in older community-dwelling adults increases when they are no longer able to shop or cook themselves. Home-delivered products could then possibly prevent them from becoming undernourished. This single-blind randomised trial tested the effectiveness of home-delivered protein-rich ready-made meals and dairy products in reaching the recommended intake of 1·2 g protein/kg body weight (BW) per d and ≥25 g of protein per meal. Community-dwelling older adults (n 98; mean age 80·4 (sd 6·8) years) switched from self-prepared to home-delivered hot meals and dairy products for 28 d. The intervention group received ready-made meals and dairy products high in protein; the control group received products lower in protein. Dietary intake was measured at baseline, after 2 weeks (T1), and after 4 weeks (T2). Multilevel analyses (providing one combined outcome for T1 and T2) and logistic regressions were performed. Average baseline protein intake was 1·09 (se 0·05) g protein/kg BW per d in the intervention group and 0·99 (se 0·05) g protein/kg BW per d in the control group. During the trial, protein intake of the intervention group was 1·12 (se 0·05) g protein/kg BW per d compared with 0·87 (se 0·03) g protein/kg BW per d in the control group (between-group differences P < 0·05). More participants of the intervention group reached the threshold of ≥25 g protein at dinner compared with the control group (intervention T1: 84·8 %, T2: 88·4 % v. control T1: 42·9 %, T2: 40·5 %; P < 0·05), but not at breakfast and lunch. Our findings suggest that switching from self-prepared meals to ready-made meals carries the risk of a decreasing protein intake, unless extra attention is given to protein-rich choices.
