| Annotation | Nutrient intake, food practices, service use, and their relationship to dietary quality in black older people were examined in this study. A health and food questionnaire and three 24-hour food recalls were administered. Diets were low in energy, calcium and vitamin B6, slightly low in protein, thiamin, riboflavin and iron and adequate in vitamins A, C and niacin. Men consumed more energy, fat and cholesterol than women, and less vitamins C, B6 and thiamin. Food stamps and home helps were used more than other services. Dietary quality was related to gender, number of meals, and use of home helps. (AKM). |
