|
This study was performed to analyze health problems in older adults in a comprehensive manner, including usual living
habits, nutritional status, and society psychological factors. Research was conducted by a structured questionnaire by
interviews with a test group of 316 people over the age of 65 from April 2012 to August 2012. Elderly people’s dietary intake
was assessed using NSI (Nutrition Screening Initiative) by the 24-hour retrospective method, and elderly people’s feeling of helplessness and sense of belonging were assessed using the measuring device. Material analysis, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS. Elderly people with increased age showed higher chances of being in the high-risk and undernourished group. Elderly with high NSI showed low intake of fat, protein, fibrin, vitamin C, E, B1, B2, Niacin, K, Fe, Zn, and Cu than those with low NSI. Findings from this comparative analysis indicate that elderly with better nutritional status showed a lower feeling of helplessness than those with poor nutritional status. Overall, elderly people consumed a b road variety of foods, and social emotional stability of elderly people increased at optimal dietary levels.
