AnnotationA food frequency instrument and questions regarding meal patterns and beliefs were used in a study of 355 participants in a continuing care retirement community providing meals in the Pacific Northwest. Food intakes were found to be good when compared to other studies of older Americans. Results also suggest similar or better intakes among the very old (over 85s) in the community. (RH).
