| Annotation | The functional status and nutrient intake of 52 congregate (i.e. living in sheltered housing), 30 day care and 31 housebound Council on aging (COA) participants were evaluated by data from three 24-hour dietary recalls, activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and demographic variables. Analysis of variance was performed to determine differences in nutrient intake according to selected characteristics. Results indicate that the congregate subjects had fewer functional status limitations. The COA meals provided one third of the recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for most nutrients; however, total daily intake was inadequate in several nutrients. Those living with younger relatives and housebound/day care men had the highest total daily intake. The positive benefits of COA meals were supported. However, service providers need to monitor both total day's intake and the COA meals, to ensure that frail older people have a balanced diet and continue to live independently. (RH). |
