Abstract:
Building upon prior research, this study investigates characteristics of participants in a senior nutrition program in Hillsborough County, Florida. The Senior Citizens Nutrition and Activities Program serves approximately 2,600 meals per day to county residents 60 years of age and over. In this study, a sample of 1,071 participants are surveyed for background characteristics, interpersonal relationships and emotional closeness, health and economic condition, emotional condition, and participation in the program. Crosstabular analyses are performed on the collected data with age, sex, and race controlled. The results indicate that the program is reaching its goals of promoting good health among the older population of Hillsborough County by providing nutritious meals and reducing social isolation, which often accompanies aging.
