Diet-related practices and BMI are associated with diet quality in older adults
Objective To assess the association of diet-related practices and BMI with diet quality in rural adults aged ≥74 years. Design Cross-sectional. Dietary quality was assessed by the twenty-five-item Dietary Screening Tool (DST). Diet-related practices were self-reported. Multivariate linear regression models were used to analyse associations of DST scores with BMI and diet-related practices after controlling for gender, age, education, smoking and …
Development and evaluation of a method for calculating the Healthy Eating Index-2005 using the Nutrition Data System for Research
Objective To develop and evaluate a method for calculating the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005) with the widely used Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) based on the method developed for use with the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrient Dietary Data System (FNDDS) and MyPyramid Equivalents Database (MPED). Design Cross-sectional. Setting Non-institutionalized, community-dwelling adults aged 70 years and above. Subject…
Food consumption patterns by urban elders in Korea

About one‐third of the respondents rarely ate eggs, milk and dairy products. The variety of food groups eaten regularly was significantly associated with …
