Older People's Nutrition: e-Bulletin Dec 2011

Committee for Healthy Ageing - Bulletin No 8, December 2011

The eighth issue of our Bulletin, updating you on issues of importance or topical interest relating to nutrition and physical activity of older people.

In this issue, we focus on older men living alone. In the September 2011 issue of Nutrition & Dietetics, journal of the Dietitians Association of Australia and Dietitians New Zealand, Carol Wham and Jenny Bowden report on their investigations into the perspectives of older single-living men towards healthy eating. In addition we’ve included a report by Sally Watson on her Healthy Eating Healthy Ageing project, "Senior Chef", aimed at this population of older people. Both Carol and Sally are members of the Foundation’s Committee for Healthy Ageing.
