| Annotation | Articles in this special issue of Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatric consider what the evidence reveals regarding home- and community-based meal and nutrition services for older people - from an American perspective. Results of a systematic review on whether participation in home-delivered meals programs improves outcomes for older adults highlight what is known and the gaps to be filled. In other articles, the sampled populations considered range from local to nationwide, and the research evidence base generally relies on observational findings based on small, local reports. The editors conclude that the key message that emerges is that a more rigorous and systematic approach to data collection and analysis is needed whether considering existing schemes or possible alternatives.
