Methodologic issues in the EURONUT SENECA study.
In 1988 a Europe-wide multicentre study on nutrition and health in the elderly (SENECA) was started to examine dietary patterns in the elderly in relation to lifestyle, social and economic conditions, and health and performance. This paper reviews the approaches taken in designing and developing the study, and describes the methodology used to gather comparative international data by standardized procedures.
