“…Interventions that have targeted older adults have found that seniors are interested in nutrition and can successfully alter their diets (Magnus, 1990;Hermann et al, 1990;Hackman & Wagner, 1990). Hypercholesterolernic elderly may be especially interested in learning how to lower blood cholesterol if they have been told by their physicians that they are at risk (~o l d b e r~ et al, 1990).…”

"Self-CARE for a Healthy Heart" promotes healthier dietary practices to reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors. Forty-four adults, aged 60-90, participated. The objectives were to determine if this self-paced program improved dietary habits and to identify how it could be better tailored for elderly. After finishing Self-CARE, 47.8% of respondents reported choosing more low-fat foods. Over 39% reported selecting fewer foods associated with heart disease. Minimal suggestions were made to improve the program. The print format, as a method to learn how to lower blood cholesterol, was preferred by a majority. Over half thought Self-CARE was effective with the elderly. Although measured dietary behavior did not improve, the format and content of Self-CARE were appropriate for use with seniors.

“…In addition, children who frequently consume soft drinks were likely to become obese and get inadequate amounts of vitamin and minerals that are essential to the body. The study also noted that the probability of a child becoming obese increased by 60% with every additional daily can of soft drink consumed ( Hermann, 1990 ; Kim et al, 2003 ). According to the research of Lee and colleagues ( 2001 ), vegetable intake was significantly more in groups with a higher level of nutrition knowledge.…”

“…The shorter duration of meal showed a higher rate of BMI and was no significant difference in distribution of BMI among subjects. This seemed to show that a shorter meal-time led to a higher probability of obesity ( Hermann et al, 1990 ). As for survey skipping breakfast of obese groups followed gluttony and overeating because of irregular meals and late dinners (Lee & Choi, 1994; Lee & Yu, 1995 ; Lee et al, 1998 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the body composition, dietary habits, daily intake of nutrients and clinical blood indices in female college students by body mass index of normal weight, overweight and obese. The subjects of this research were 141 respondents of a survey carried out on students, and subjects were given 60 minutes to answer questionnaires, by recording their own answers. The average heights and weights of subjects by BMI were 162.17 cm, 52.73 kg in normal weight group, 162.35 cm, 62.22 kg in overweight group and 161.72 cm, 69.82 kg in obesity group, respectively. As for the survey daily of meals, starving breakfast and kind of snacks of subjects were significantly different among the groups by BMI. In animal protein food intakes, meat intake was the highest 'every day' food consumed by subjects, and there was a significant difference in distribution of BMI among subjects. Fruits, and greenish and yellow vegetables intakes were the highest 'every day' foods indicated by the normal weight group. Consumption of carbonated beverages and juices showed a significant difference among groups by BMI. The average of total-cholesterol was the overweight group was the higher value. There was a significant difference in diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure among the groups by BMI. Average daily calories intake levels were insufficient and the intake ratio of carbohydrates, protein, and fat was the normal weight group 68:17:15, the overweight group 64:18:18 and the obese group 73:14:13. Results of the daily vitamin intake analyses displayed riboflavin, niacin, vitamin C, and folic acid levels lower than the RI levels. Fe intake was the normal weight group 81%, overweight group 76%, obese group 59% of the RI level. Therefore, it is necessary for college students to establish regular meals, good quality snacks and consuming more vitamin and mineral nutritions for optimal health conditions.

“…It is an effective tool for changing the food habits of the people without affecting their sentiments. Several studies have reported a positive influences of nutrition counselling on nutritional knowledge scores (15,(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48). Age did not appear to be a limiting factor in increasing one's knowledge, as seen from positive knowledge gain in several intervention studies (35).…”
