Associations between protein to non-protein ratio and intakes of other dietary components in a cohort aged 65–75 years
Objective: Diets with a low proportion of energy from protein have shown to cause overconsumption of non-protein energy, known as Protein Leverage. Older adults are susceptible to nutritional inadequacy. The aim was to investigate associations between protein to non-protein ratio (P:NP) and intakes of dietary components and assess the nutritional adequacy of individuals aged 65–75 years from the Nutrition for Healthy Living (NHL) Study. Design: C…
Associations between the composition of functional tooth units and nutrient intake in older men
Objective: Inadequate nutrient intakes have been linked with poor dentition in older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between the composition of functional tooth units (FTU) and nutrient intakes in older men. Design: A cross-sectional study with a standardised validated diet history assessment and comprehensive oral health assessments. FTU were categorised by dentition type: (i) Group A (Natural FTU Only), (ii) Gr…
Associations between nutrient intakes and dietary patterns with different sarcopenia definitions in older Australian men
Objective: To assess the associations between nutrient intake and dietary patterns with different sarcopenia definitions in older men. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Sarcopenia was defined using the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2). Dietary adequacy of fourteen nutrients was as…
Changes in micronutrient intake and factors associated with this change among older Australian men
Objectives: To examine changes in micronutrient intake over 3 years and identify any associations between socio-economic, health, lifestyle and meal-related factors and these changes in micronutrient intakes among older men. Design: Prospective study. Setting: Dietary adequacy of individual micronutrient was compared to the estimated average requirement of the nutrient reference values (NRV). Attainment of the NRV for twelve micronutrients was in…
Mortality Paradox of Older Italian-Born Men in Australia
Relationship Between Depressive Symptoms, Anemia, and Iron Status in Older Residents From a National Survey Population
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between iron deficiency status and depressive symptoms in a national community sample of older people. METHODS: Cross-sectional data were analyzed from 1875 participants 65 years and older who had participated in the 2005 Health Survey for England. Serum hemoglobin (Hb), ferritin, and transferrin receptor levels and depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale) had been measured. Covariates included ag…
Relationship Between Vitamin D Levels and Depressive Symptoms in Older Residents From a National Survey Population
Objective: To investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and depressive symptoms in a national community sample of older people. Vitamin D deficiency is common in older people with potential effects on mood. Methods: Data were analyzed from 2070 participants aged ≥65 years who had participated in the 2005 Health Survey for England. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale) had b…
Generalised and abdominal obesity and risk of diabetes, hypertension and hypertension–diabetes co-morbidity in England
Objectives To look at trends in generalised (body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg m –2 ) and abdominal (waist circumference (WC) >102 cm in men, >88 cm in women) obesity among adults between 1993 and 2003, and to evaluate their association with diabetes, hypertension and hypertension–diabetes co-morbidity (HDC) in England. Design Analyses of nationally representative cross-sectional population surveys, the Health Survey for England (HSE). Subjects Non-in…
