Exploratory Investigation Of Self-Actualization, Social Support, And Dietary Quality In Later Adulthood, Helena May Toner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1980 - 1989

Nutrition has been implicated as an influence in the health of older adults. However, the nature of this relationship remains unclear. Dietary patterns mirror lifelong cultural and ethnic influences, and are also responsive to existing medical and economic conditions. Depression, isolation, and cognitive impairment have been associated with inadequate food intake in this age group. Recent concern about malnutrition, including obesity, has prompted a social-psychological approach to nutrition and aging research. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship of self-actualization and social support to dietary quality. Data were obtained from 100 older adults, 60 to 83 years …

A Rural-Urban Comparison Of Preferences Expressed By Elders For Long-Term Care Arrangements, William J. Mcauley, Rosemary Blieszner

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This paper examines the long-term care (LTC) arrangements selected by rural older people, identifies the characteristics associated with their selections, and compares patterns of selection and related factors with those of elderly urban residents. The research is based upon 1,240 cases selected from a larger statewide area probability sample of noninstitutionalized persons at least 60 years old. Results, based upon tabular and logistic regression analysis, suggest that older rural residents are more likely than their urban counterparts to select LTC arrangements that involve both formal and informal forms of care as well as arrangements that are more likely to facilitate …
