“…One way of promoting optimal nutrition for older adults is through nutrition education curricula (Larsson et al, 1999; Turrell & Kavanagh, 2006). Several studies reported the following outcomes: increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, and dairy; general improvements in healthy eating behaviors; enhanced knowledge of the benefits of eating a well‐balanced diet; and a rise in intention to change eating‐related behaviors (Garcia & Johnson, 2003; Ivery et al, 2017; Meethien et al, 2011; Pucciarelli, 2019). On average, 24%–61% of older adults are at‐risk for malnutrition (Adams et al, 2008; Chen et al, 2019; Khole & Soletti, 2018; Lin et al, 2017).…”

The world population is aging, with older populations growing more quickly than any other demographic (United Nations, 2019). The World Health Organization (2018) estimates that by 2050, the global older adult population will nearly double from 12% to 22%. There is strong evidence of a positive relationship between healthy eating and healthy aging (Baugreet et al., 2017;Drewnowski & Evans, 2001). It is important to address the health status of the aging population. Older adults, aged 60 and above, face numerous health issues that can impact eating habits and attitudes (CDC, 2015; World Health Organization, 2018).

“…Nutritional interventions in older adults, which have been conducted in both the hospital and community setting, include oral supplements, dietary advice, counseling, and home visits [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Most often, these interventions are conducted among older adults with malnutrition or at risk of developing malnutrition [ 11 ].…”

“…Longitudinal studies have shown that health education and health promotion activities extend the number of years of health in older adults [ 12 , 13 ]. Current literature suggests that nutritional education interventions improve the dietary pattern by increasing the knowledge of diet among older adults and are effective to improve the risk of malnutrition [ 9 ]. Cost-effective models of intervention have been recommended for developing countries using the available evidence from other countries, based on the worldwide success to improve the dietary pattern using health education and behavior change concepts [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Education Intervention Has the Potential to Improve Short-Term Dietary Pattern among Older Adults with Undernutrition

Low-cost educational interventions to improve dietary pattern is a pragmatic solution to prevent undernutrition in low- and middle-income countries. A prospective nutritional education intervention was conducted among older adults aged 60 years or above with undernutrition with 60 people in each intervention and control group. The objective was to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a community-based nutrition education intervention to improve the dietary pattern of older adults with undernutrition in Sri Lanka. The intervention consisted of two modules to improve the diversity, the variety of diet, and the serving sizes of food consumed. The primary outcome was the improvement of the Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) and the secondary outcomes were the Food Variety Score and Dietary Serving Score, which was assessed using the 24 h dietary recall. The mean difference in scores between the two groups was compared using the independent sample t-test at baseline, two weeks and three months post-intervention. Baseline characteristics were comparable. After two weeks, only the difference in DDS between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0.002). However, this was not sustained at three months (p = 0.08). This study concludes that nutrition education interventions have the potential for short-term improvement in dietary patterns in older adults in a Sri Lanka setting.
