Characteristics related to elderly persons' not eating for 1 or more days: implications for meal programs.

E A Frongillo, Jr, B S Rauschenbach, D A Roe and D F Williamson

Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853.

We examined how social, economic, location, health, and food need characteristics are related to elderly persons' not eating for 1 or more days. The following variables were positively related to not eating: ethnicity, location, receipt of Medicaid, living alone, health problems, mobility, age less than 80 years, cancer, nausea, difficulty swallowing, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and receipt of food from a food pantry. These results have implications for allocating meal program funds, screening clients, and monitoring whether clients eat regularly.
