| Annotation | As part of the US Elderly Nutrition Program requirements, sociodemographic and functional status, also nutritional data were collected from a diverse sample of 729 older women, in order to assess indicators and correlates of high levels of nutritional risk. Results indicated that being black, having a low income, living alone and being in the age group 60-74 were associated with moderately high and very high levels of nutritional risk. With demographic projections of an increasingly numerous and diverse older population who may face health and nutritional challenges, researchers must strengthen efforts to assist policymakers and service providers to properly target nutrition services.
