Abstract

This study investigated the effect of nutrition education program on protein and nutrient intake, physical performance, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years). The participants were randomized in clusters to intervention (IG, n = 51) and control (CG, n = 45) groups. Those in IG took part in the Eating for Strong Aging education program consisting of nutrition education in peer groups, written materials, and personal advice. Nutrient intake was assessed with 3-day food diaries, physical performance with Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and HRQoL with 15-D-QoL instrument. Total of 89 participants completed the study. The mean age was 76 years (IG) and 74 years (CG). At three months, the mean change in protein intake was 0.10 g/adjusted bodyweight (ABW) kg/d in the IG, and -0.07 g/ABW kg/d in the CG (p = 0.024). Intakes of polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins C and E increased in the IG compared to the CG (p < 0.05). Changes in SPPB or total HRQoL scores between the IG and the CG did not differ. HRQoL dimension mobility improved in the IG compared to the CG (p = 0.035). In conclusion, the Eating for Strong Aging educational program improved nutrition and may be beneficial for mobility-related QoL.

营养教育可提高社区老年人蛋白质、多不饱和脂肪酸以及维生素C和E的摄入量。

本研究调查了营养教育计划对社区老年人（≥65岁）蛋白质和营养摄入、身体表现和健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的影响年）。参与者被随机分组进行干预（IG，n = 51）和对照组（CG = 45）组。IG中的人参加了“为强大的老龄化而吃”教育计划，该计划包括同龄人的营养教育、书面材料和个人建议。用3天食物日记评估营养摄入，用短体力电池（SPPB）评估体力，用15-D-QoL仪评估HRQoL。共有89名参与者完成了这项研究。平均年龄76岁年（IG）和74 年（CG）。三个月时，蛋白质摄入量的平均变化为0.10 g/IG中的调整后体重（ABW）kg/d，以及-0.07 CG中的g/ABW kg/d（p = 0.024）。与CG相比，IG中多不饱和脂肪酸和维生素C和E的摄入量增加（p p = 0.035）。总之，“为强衰老而吃”教育计划改善了营养，可能有利于与行动相关的生活质量。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics publishes original research studies that are directly relevant to clinical and community nutrition issues that affect older adults. Epidemiologic and community-based studies are suitable for JNE, as are well-controlled clinical trials of preventive and therapeutic nutritional interventions. The Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics invites papers on a broad array of topics in the nutrition and aging field, including but not limited to studies of: preventive nutrition, nutritional interventions for chronic disease, aging effects on nutritional requirements, nutritional status and dietary intake behaviors, nutritional frailty and functional status, usefulness of supplements, programmatic interventions, transitions in care and long term care, and community nutrition issues.
