AnnotationIf confirmed, the results obtained from this study indicate that inner-city dwelling older black Americans are at high nutritional risk. Improving the nutritional content of their diet, oral health, polypharmacy, depressive symptoms, poor general health, offering group meals, and providing assistance with shopping and cooking are suggested as means of reducing this risk.
