| Annotation | A high degree of risk of malnutrition exists among low-income older Americans, particularly those attending congregate nutrition sites. Recognising this, nutrition education is offered regularly. This study focuses on the diversity of its audience and the premise that more appropriately targeted nutrition education would bring about behaviour change and have an effect on malnutrition. The article identifies risk factors for and levels of risk of malnutrition for the study's participant population. It determines that subsets of the population are at greater risk of malnutrition than the whole. This article is part of a collection that deals with a variety of issues regarding nutrition education for varying populations of older adults. It is the result of work by the US Elderly Nutrition Education Group (ENE), an independent group of nutrition professionals with strong interest in and commitment to the importance of nutrition education for older adults.
