Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The nutritional needs of the elderly and federal programs designed to help meet these needs are discussed. Many factors affect the nutritional status of the elderly including economic, medical, and environmental conditions. Many of the elderly have insufficient incomes to fullfill their nutritional needs. Many have chronic illnesses affecting the intake and utilization of nutrients. Others are prohibited from obtaining help because of distance, ignorance or fear. Many elderly have protein and vitamin deficient diets, while ingesting large amounts of fat and carbohydrates. To correct these inequities, the Title VII Nutrition Program for the Aged was funded beginning in 1973. While the initial program was limited in scope, in 1975 it was expanded to more sites and served more of the elderly.
