Meal Patterns of Older Adults in Rural Communities: Life Course Analysis and Implications for Undernutrition
Mealfrequency and composition data were collected in home interviews from a random sample of 556 adults age 55 to 96 years from two rural Kentucky counties Only 65% consumed three meals every day, and less than one third regularly snacked. Factor analysis distinguished patterns of hot, cooked meals...

| description | Mealfrequency and composition data were collected in home interviews from a random sample
of 556 adults age 55 to 96 years from two rural Kentucky counties Only 65% consumed three
meals every day, and less than one third regularly snacked. Factor analysis distinguished
patterns of hot, cooked meals from cold, uncooked meals at each meal; patterns varied by
sociodemographic characteristics. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews with key infor
mants provide context for understanding the influence of life course experiences These data
show both continutty of local rural meal patterns and changes informants attribute to life course
transitions—the most salient related to family, work, and health status. Knowledge of how meals
are patterned and how patterns are distributed can inform efforts to correct or prevent nutritional
problems, particularly undernutrition. We suggest ways in which these findings can be applied
in programs to improve the nutritional status of elders. |
