We utilized data from the Health and Retirement Study to conduct twelve, three-stage hierarchical regressions on hydration status and executive function performance of older adults. Cognitive performance scores on the Trail Making A, Symbol Digit Modalities, and Letter Cancellation tests significantly differed by hydration status, and these outcomes follow a curvilinear pattern, such that performance scores are lower for those who are hyper-hydrated or dehydrated relative to those who are euhydrated or near-dehydration. Our study's findings are consistent with prior studies examining the impact of serum osmolarity on cognitive performance. Specifically, a curvilinear pattern was associated with speed of processing tests of executive function. Overall, hydration status is associated with curvilinear patterns of performance on executive function measures, specifically Trail Making A, Symbol Digit Modalities, and Letter Cancellation Tests.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"165-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142476930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews with partners in Minnesota's EFS (n = 9), rural emergency food providers (n = 5), and rural older adults who receive emergency food (n = 14) between July 2022 and February 2023. We used template analysis, a rapid qualitative method, to identify recurring perspectives across interviews. The pandemic required shifts in how providers delivered services, but their established networks, their adaptability, and substantial support enabled them to make necessary pivots. Challenges include increasing use with decreasing support, labor capacity, and the need for quality foods. Concerns about inflation-driven food insecurity and increasing reliance on the EFS were common in the context of sunsetting pandemic-related programs. Our results support that the substantial support provided throughout the pandemic enabled the EFS to continue providing services and meeting the needs of underserved populations, such as rural older adults. Policymakers should reinstate or extend the pandemic-era strategies that supported household food security and enabled the EFS to continue providing services.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"184-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11530316/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142476932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study utilized secondary data analysis methods to examine the 2021 National Health Interview Survey to explore the relationship between food insecurity and insulin adherence among adults aged 55 and older who are living with diabetes. Results of multivariable logistic regression suggest that participants experiencing food insecurity were more likely to take less insulin than needed and delay buying insulin in the past 12 months compared to participants who were food secure. Homeownership was inversely associated with taking less insulin than needed. Higher income-to-poverty ratio was also inversely associated with skipping insulin doses, taking less insulin than needed, and delaying the purchase of insulin. Our results showed that other racialized/ethnic groups (i.e., American Indian, Alaskan Native, Asian, biracial, and multiracial persons) compared to White were less likely to skip an insulin dose and take less insulin than needed.

The advent of COVID-19, however, restricted access to these services due to the closure of physical locations. In response, Lanakila Meals on Wheels initiated a virtual congregate meal program, Kūpuna U, in collaboration with community partners in Honolulu County. The program combined grab-and-go or home-delivered meals with virtual and in-person classes to improve both nutrition and socialization for older adults. This study aimed to capture participant feedback to assess and enhance the Kūpuna U program, developing it as a flexible and scalable congregate meal solution applicable nationwide. Five focus group discussions were conducted with program participants (n = 34). The majority of participants were female (74%), Asian (73%), and living alone (56%). Participants found the program beneficial, enhancing their nutrition, social engagement, and learning experiences on various topics tailored for older adults. Supportive staff played a crucial role in motivating participants to stay engaged. Participants also identified potential enhancements to the program, including more activities and courses, expanded hours, additional in-person options at various locations, and culturally tailored meals.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"134-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141447266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finger food meals may affect the ability to eat independently and were therefore compared to regular meals for older adults >65 years with major motoric eating difficulties. In this pilot study the screening instrument MEOF-II, including additional questions about use of cutlery and fingers, was used to collect data regarding autonomy, food intake and social interaction through observations. Five women and one man participated in the study. Results showed that finger food meals facilitated autonomous eating since the participants were able to eat independently without relying on help from others. Less energy was spent on eating, which allowed for social interaction. However, finger food meals entail unfamiliar norms and culinary rules which may hinder eating; this is an important factor to consider in the implementation of such meals. Further studies on finger foods for older adults may consider larger and diverse cohorts, including healthy older adults, those with motoric difficulties and those with early stages of cognitive decline. Also, a wider variety of finger foods for specific cultural preferences and situations may be considered.","PeriodicalId":38899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"95-115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141180707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using nationally representative data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI, 2017-18), this study examined the underweight status among the Indian older adults and investigated its relationship with various health outcomes. The effective sample size of this study was 28,050 older adults aged 60 years or above. Multivariable logistic and linear regression models were employed to meet the objectives of the study. Underweight status was found to be negatively associated functional health, cognitive function, and grip strength. However, no significant association was observed between underweight status and depressive symptoms. Moreover, socioeconomic, demographic, and geographic factors were identified as strong determinants of underweight status among Indian older adults.
