Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Healthy eating and weight management are crucial for older adults.
  • Senior centers (SCs) play a role in the well-being of the elderly population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the impact of senior centers on attendees' nutrition and health.
  • To assess efforts to improve dietary habits and weight control among senior center attendees.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from surveys in 2006, 2007, and 2012 at 21 senior centers in Tarrant County, Texas.
  • Analysis included attendee perceptions of SC meals improving nutrition and health, attempts to improve diets, and weight control success.
  • Cumulative and binary logistic regression models were utilized.

Main Results:

  • Senior center attendance and social engagement correlated with improved perceptions of nutrition and health.
  • These factors did not significantly predict actual changes in dietary behavior or weight control.
  • Physician recommendations also showed influence on nutritional behavior and perceptions.

Conclusions:

  • Senior center programs can positively shape how elders perceive their nutrition and health.
  • Collaboration between senior centers and healthcare providers is recommended to enhance nutritional health outcomes.
  • Further research may be needed to identify mechanisms for translating perceived benefits into behavioral changes.
