| Annotation | The focus of this study was to assess nutritional risk and sociodemographic characteristics of low-income older adults living in Mississippi. Information on fat, fruit and vegetable intakes, and other data including ethnicity were collected in a telephone survey of 212 older adults. The Nutrition Screening Initiative DETERMINE Checklist was used to assess nutritional risk and group participants into high, moderate or no nutritional risk. Implications of these results for nutrition educators are highlighted. (KJ/RH). |
