Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To examine the nutritional status of three major subgroups of Asian-American elderly.
SUBJECTS: The sample consisted of 169 chinese, 90 Korean, and 50 japanese elderly who lived in five apartment buildings for senior citizens in Chicago, Ill.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls were used to evaluate dietary intake. Anthropometric measures of height, weight, and triceps skinfold thickness were also obtained.
RESULTS: Many Asian-American elderly consume an inadequate amount of dietary calcium. A large per entage of korean elderly also consume inadequate amounts of protein and vitamins A and C. Underweight was more common than obesity among these ethnic groups.
APPLICATIONS: The information in this article provides valuable data to the Asian-american community for program planning as well as to health providers who work with individual Asian-American elderly to meet their nutrition needs.
