Food preferences and shopping habits of older peopleBurson, Janet Zimmerman 05 May 1975 (has links)
Ninety people, aged 60 and older, were interviewed regarding
their shopping habits, use of convenience foods, frequency of food
use and reasons for food preferences. The relation of income level
and education level to reasons for food use was also investigated.
The major source of purchased food was the chain supermarket.
Shopping was done primarily on a once a week basis. The food
groups purchased most frequently were fruits and vegetables, and
milk and milk products. The primary determinants of these shopping
patterns were food quality, economy, and convenience.
Convenience foods were widely used by the elderly study
subjects. They were valued for their ease of preparation. Income
level did not influence the choice of market place or the use of
convenience foods.
More than three fourths of the subjects used some form of
milk each day. Low fat milks were most popular. Ground beef and
chicken were the most frequently used meats. Beef steaks and
roasts and all forms of pork were also well liked. The fruits, in
general, were well liked and used on a regular basis. Green beans
were the most frequently used vegetable on a weekly basis; lettuce
the most frequently used vegetable on a daily basis. With one
exception, enriched breads were consumed daily by all subjects.
The dry, unsweetened cereals were the most frequently used form
of cereal. A preference was found for margarine and oil over
butter, shortening, cream, and lard. Coffee, tea, fruit and vegetable
juices were all consumed frequently. Soft drinks, artificially
sweetened drinks and alcoholic beverages were less acceptable to
the elderly.
Sensory reasons and the degree of preparation required by a
food item were the two most frequently given reasons for food
selection. Health considerations were also important to the older
people who were both weight conscious and concerned about heart
disease. Neither income level nor educational level had an influence
on the reasons given for food use. / Graduation date: 1975

The effect of selected socio-environmental variables on the dietary intake of preschool childrenCondit, Mary Garidel 25 February 1976 (has links)
This investigation was undertaken to obtain information on the
dietary intake of Oregon preschool children and to determine the
effect of certain socio-environmental variables on the nutrient intake
of these children. Three hundred boys and girls who were attending
Well Child or Multiphasic Screening Clinics in 11 counties participated
in this project. A home economist interviewed the parent to obtain
the child's dietary intake and socio-environmental data of the family.
Dietary intake was determined by 24-hour recall or 3-day records.
Nutrient intake was compared to the 1974 Recommended Dietary
Allowances (RDA); intakes below 67 percent of the RDA were considered
low. Correlations of socio-environmental factors with
nutrient intake were determined by simple linear regression and
multiple regression analysis.
The mean and median of the children's intake of vitamin A, exceeded the RDA. While the median of their niacin intake was just
below the RDA, the mean and median of their iron intake was below
the recommended level. Protein and riboflavin were consumed
abundantly, with 0 and 3.3 percent of the subjects, respectively,
failing to receive two-thirds of the RDA. Sixty-three percent of the
children ingested diets that supplied two to three times the RDA for
protein. The nutrients most commonly lacking were iron, ascorbic
acid, calcium and thiamin, with 39.7, 18.7, 15.3, and 13.0 percent,
respectively, of the children having low intakes. Forty-one percent
of the children received a nutrient supplement, which was not included
in these calculations.
The percentage of children consuming diets containing less than
67 percent of the RDA increased with age for the intakes of vitamin A,
thiamin, and kilocalories. Low intakes of iron, on the other hand,
declined with age. Riboflavin intake was lowest among the four- to
six-year-old children. Adequacy of ascorbic acid, niacin and calcium
did not show any relation to age.
The socio-environmental variables examined were geographic
location (urban, rural, or metropolitan), number of siblings as well as
education and occupation of each parent. Other socio-environmental
variables considered were whether or not the family received public
assistance or had contact with the Cooperative Extension Service
personnel and bulletins. When multiple regression analysis was
ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, protein, and kilocalories performed, the only significant correlation (p < 0.05) was observed
between the intake of ascorbic acid, mother's education, and mother's
profession. Four socio-environmental variables were significantly
correlated (p < 0.05) with the intake of one or more nutrients by
simple linear regression. A significant correlation was found between
mother's education and the intakes of ascorbic acid, calories, and
thiamin. A significant correlation was observed between mother's
profession and the intakes of niacin and ascorbic acid. Father's
education was found to be significantly related to the intake of thiamin.
The only significant, negative correlation was found between the intake
of thiamin and the number of siblings. / Graduation date: 1976

The effects of improved oral hygiene on the nutrition of the elderlyLangan, Michael Joseph 14 June 1974 (has links)
The effects of improved oral hygiene on the nutrition of 23
elderly institutionalized men and women were investigated. An experimental
group of 12 received professional oral hygiene treatments
three times weekly for a period of five weeks, while a control group
of 11 received only placebo work. Changes in taste perception, nutrient
intake, and selected blood parameters were measured.
Improved oral hygiene appeared to be responsible for increases
in taste acuity. There were significantly more experimental
than control subjects who showed improved ability to detect sweet,
sour, and salty tastes, and improved identification thresholds for
sweet and salty tastes.
The nutrient intake of many of the subjects fell below the
recommended dietary allowances for this age group, especially for
folate. No significant dietary improvement was directly attributable to improved oral hygiene. However, at the end of the five-week
period, both groups showed significant increases in their mean
dietary calories, protein, calcium, vitamin A, and riboflavin. In
addition, the diet of the experimental group increased significantly
in iron and thiamin. The dietary improvement appeared to be associated
with the psychological effect of frequent professional attention.
No significant improvements in blood parameters were shown
by either group as a result of the treatment. However, significantly
more experimental than control subjects showed an increase in
hemoglobin concentration, plasma protein, and plasma ascorbic
acid. Low plasma folate concentrations were found in all subjects
and there was no folate response to either treatment. / Graduation date: 1975

Folic acid and ascorbic acid status of elderly subjectsLee, Mei-shan 18 December 1974 (has links)
Folic acid and ascorbic acid status have been assessed in
twenty non-institutionalized elderly subjects with respect to both
hematological and dietary aspects.
The hemoglobins, hematocrits, and serum ascorbic acid
concentrations were within the normal range. A few subjects had
total serum protein concentrations which were less than the acceptable
level. More than half of the subjects had serum folic acid
concentrations below the acceptable level. Mean dietary nutrient
intakes were comparable to the Recommended Dietary Allowances
with the exception of calories and folic acid.
In general, the diets of the men were higher in calories,
protein and iron while diets of the women were higher in ascorbic
and folic acids. The men tended to have higher hematocrits,
hemoglobin and serum folates while the women had higher serum concentrations of ascorbic acid. No significant effect due to vitamin
C supplementation was observed. Although there was no significant
correlation between the serum concentrations of ascorbic and folic
acids, examinations of group means suggested that these parameters
were inversely related.
Multiple regression analyses of hematological values and
dietary nutrient intakes revealed no significant effects. / Graduation date: 1975

The interrelationships of physical and dietary parameters with plasma lipids in healthy elderly subjectsWarner, June Alice 16 March 1976 (has links)
The interrelationships between physical measurements, dietary
intake of specific nutrients, and plasma lipids were examined in 19
healthy elderly subjects. The mean blood pressures, relative weights,
and skinfold thicknesses were within normal ranges, although women
tended to be more overweight. Systolic pressure and relative weight
were associated with increased body fatness, as measured by suprailiac
and subscapular skinfolds. On the average, the caloric intake of
these subjects was only 85% of the recommended dietary allowance;
carbohydrate supplied 48% and fat accounted for 33% of the calories.
The subjects consumed a low level of saturated fatty acids and
cholesterol but the dietary ratio of polyunsaturates to saturates was
similar to that of the typical American diet. Higher levels of dietary
fat were associated with higher intakes of saturated fatty acids and
cholesterol. The mean concentrations of cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides in plasma were within the normal reported ranges;
these lipid fractions appeared to be uninfluenced by the composition of
the diet. The concentration of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma was
unusually high and positively correlated with age of the subjects.
There was also an unexplained correlation between plasma nonesterified
fatty acids and the linoleic acid content of the diet. / Graduation date: 1976
