Vitamins and Minerals for the Age of 50+: Vitamins and Minerals to the Elders

In the study to investigate Elderly participants in the Title III-C Nutrition Program, 60-103 years of age, were assessed for nutrient/energy intakes, showed that Six percent of the sample had adequate energy and nutrient intakes over a 3-day period; 53% were rated tenuous or marginal, and 41% submarginal or inadequate. The Title III-C noon meal provided 38%-44% of the average daily energy intake and 33%-65% of the average intake of selected nutrients. Diets of men were better than those of women (p < .05). Calcium (p < .01) and potassium (p < .05) were higher in diets of female elders above the poverty line than those below. Black women were most affected by poverty, with 92% below the poverty line. A trend was observed for higher intakes of fatty components (total fat, cholesterol, % fat calories) for both men and women in the below-poverty than in above-poverty groups. DeKalb Community Council on Aging subjects had higher intakes of Vitamin A than those in the ENP, but overall most nutrients were higher in both congregate and home delivery clients of ENP(1)
