“…The healthy eating habits average score indicated a poor diet quality, while the unhealthy eating habits average score was slightly above the cutoff score indicating good diet quality. The total average score for the FQSE indicates poor diet quality, although it was close to the cutoff score indicating good diet quality ( 62 ). The average score for FDFW indicated moderate financial distress/moderate financial wellbeing ( 63 ).…”

“…Each question is scored from bad eating habits (1 point) to not consuming (3 or 5 points as appropriate), with the total score of this subscale ranging from 8 to 38 points (higher values indicate healthier eating habits). The validated Spanish version of the scale was used, which has shown good internal consistency in studies with Chilean older adults ( 62 ). In this study, both subscales showed acceptable internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha Healthy eating habits = 0.70, Unhealthy eating habits = 0.69).…”

IntroductionOlder adults are a highly heterogeneous population, as individuals of the same age can show considerable variations in personal characteristics and living conditions. Risk and protective factors for older adults' subjective wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic can be explored by examining how life satisfaction, food-related life satisfaction, and associated variables coexist among these individuals. On this basis, this study aimed to identify older adult profiles based on their levels of life and food-related life satisfaction; to characterize these profiles by diet quality, social support, financial wellbeing, and sociodemographic characteristics; and to identify variables associated with higher life and food-related life satisfaction.MethodsThe sample included 1,371 institutionalized and non-institutionalized individuals over the age of 60, from four cities in Chile. Participants answered a survey, either online or face to face, with questions about life and food-related life satisfaction, perceived social support from family, friends, and others, food quality, financial wellbeing/distress, sociodemographic characteristics, and prior COVID-19 infection.ResultsUsing a latent profile analysis, we identified three profiles of older adults: Profile 1: Unsatisfied with their life, somewhat satisfied with their food-related life (5.40%); Profile 2: Somewhat satisfied with their life, satisfied with their food-related life (65.06%); Profile 3: Extremely satisfied with their life and food-related life (29.54%). Profiles differed by residence (institutionalized vs. independent), age, marital status, social support, financial wellbeing, COVID-19 infection, and city of residence.DiscussionThe patterns of association between life and food-related satisfaction and related variables indicate conditions of vulnerability and protection related to living conditions, the social dimensions of food consumption, and social support. These results underscore the need for identifying groups of older adults based on diverse characteristics and conditions outside of chronological age.

“…Se obtuvo un elevado por ciento de ancianos cuya alimentación es insuficiente en cantidad y/o calidad. Existen otras investigaciones que señalan resultados similares aunque sin llegar al resultado de esta investigación (Durán Agüero, Candia, & Pizarro Mena, 2017). La alimentación es considerada actualmente, además de un acto necesario y generadora de placer, como un recurso terapéutico necesario en las ECNT (Echeverría, & Rigotti, 2017…”

Los estilos de vida son conceptualizados como las acciones que caracterizan las actividades diarias de una persona. Juegan un papel fundamental en la prevención o aparición de enfermedades; mantener estilos de vida saludables constituye una prioridad en los adultos mayores. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir el comportamiento de los estilos de vida en adultos mayores residentes en parroquias rurales del cantón Riobamba, Chimborazo, Ecuador. Para esto se realizó una investigación descriptiva. El universo estuvo constituido por 730 adultos mayores. La muestra quedó conformada por 225 personas. A todos se les aplicó un cuestionario que permitió obtener la información necesaria. Los principales resultados incluyeron un promedio de edad de 67,44 años con predominio de féminas (60,44%). El 76,00% de los ancianos viven solos y el 79,11% presentó diagnóstico de enfermedad crónica. El 94,22% realizan actividades físicas menos de 2 veces por semana y el 92,44% consumía una alimentación inadecuada en el momento de realizar la investigación; el 79,11% acude a controles de salud menos de 2 veces al año. Se concluye que existe un elevado por ciento de adultos mayores con estilos de vida poco saludables caracterizado principalmente por elevada presencia de enfermedades crónicas, alimentación poco saludable y baja práctica de actividades físicas.

Background and objectives The confinement by COVID-19 has affected the food chain and environments, which added to factors such as anxiety, frustration, fear and stress have modified the quality of the diet in the population around the world. The purpose of this study was to explore diet quality during the COVID-19 pandemic in 11 Latin American countries. Methodology Multicentric, cross-sectional study. An online survey was applied to residents of 11 Latin-American countries, during April and May 2020, when confinement was mandatory. Diet quality was evaluated using a validated questionnaire. Result 10,573 people participated in the study. The quality of the food by country shows that Colombia presented the best quality, while Chile and Paraguay presented the lowest. When comparing the overall results of diet quality by gender, schooling and age, women, people with more schooling and people under 30 years of age, presented better diet quality. The regression model showed that the variables associated with diet quality were: age (df = 3, F = 4. 57, p < 0.001), sex (df = 1, F = 131.01, p < 0.001), level of education (df = 1, F = 38.29, p < 0.001), perception of weight change (df = 2, F = 135.31, p < 0.001), basis services (df = 1, F = 8.63, p = 0.003), and quarantine (df = 1, F = 12.14, p = 0.001). Conclusion It is necessary for governments to intervene to reverse these indicators, considering that inadequate feeding favors the appearance of no communicable diseases, which favor a higher risk of infection and worse prognosis with COVID-19.
