title: Are older Americans making better food choices to meet diet and health recommendations?
abstract: Trends in food consumption by elderly men and women were recently reported using data from the US Nationwide Food Consumption Surveys of 1977-1978 and 1987-1988. Problems of interpretation arise because of the significant nonresponse rates that occurred during the NFCS survey and other difficulties related to comparison of population nutrient intakes over time.
