| Annotation | In a secondary analysis of routinely collected data on 245 participants of the home-delivered meals service from two rural North Carolina (NC) counties, blacks were 3.7 times more likely than whites to be at highest level of nutritional risk, with further increase in the odds when economic need was present. This underscores the importance of understanding racial and cultural differences in developing and delivering targeted and tailored nutrition services to older people. (RH). |
