Abstract

Objective: To assess the mean differences in outcomes of 3 delivery modalities of a nutrition education program targeting older adults.

Methods: A natural experiment was conducted from March 2020 to September 2021, with presurveys and postsurveys used to assess dietary and physical activity behaviors. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t tests, and ANOVA, with a Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold at P < 0.001.

Results: There were 3 groups: in-person (n = 212), Zoom (n = 61), and phone (n = 104). Respondents aged > 70 years and in rural areas were more likely to be enrolled in person (P < 0.001). Across all modalities, there were significant improvements from before to after for most outcomes. The phone group reported significantly larger mean differences than the in-person group for fruit, vegetable, and whole grain consumption (P < 0.001).

Conclusions and implications: Healthy Eating, Staying Active as We Age can be delivered across all modalities. Future practitioners can use the findings to consider alternative modalities that may better meet the needs of their audience.

老年人健康饮食、保持活力课程三种授课方式的平均差异

目的：评估针对老年人的营养教育计划的3种交付方式的结果的平均差异。方法：于2020年3月至2021年9月进行自然实验，采用问卷调查和事后调查的方式评估饮食和身体活动行为。结果采用描述性统计、t检验和方差分析进行分析，bonferroni校正显著性阈值P < 0.001。结果：共分为3组：面对面（n = 212）、Zoom （n = 61）和电话（n = 104）。年龄在100 ~ 70岁之间和农村地区的受访者更有可能亲自登记（P < 0.001）。在所有的治疗方式中，大多数结果从治疗前到治疗后都有显著的改善。手机组报告的水果、蔬菜和全谷物消费的平均差异明显大于面对面组（P < 0.001）。结论和意义：健康饮食，随着年龄的增长保持活跃可以通过各种方式实现。未来的从业者可以利用这些发现来考虑可能更好地满足其受众需求的替代模式。
