Nutrition of seniors outside institutional facilities
KOSÍKOVÁ, Monika
Nutrition stays an integral part of life even in old age. The aim of this thesis was to find out what eating habits seniors have in their home environment. The theoretical part of the thesis sums up physiological changes in old age, correct eating recommendations, and it also contains a brief description of chosen diseases. A qualitative research has been chosen for the purpose of this bachelor thesis, eight seniors aged 65 to 75 were addressed in autumn. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the respondents, consisting of questions about housing, health condition, and nutrition. At the same time, seniors were noting down their weekly eating plans. The practical part at first mentions information provided by the interviews, and calculations of basic eating plan nutrients obtained from the ´Nutriservis Professional´ programme. Individual nutrient intakes were compared to the current recommendations for old age nutrition. Based on the research it was found out that the interviewed seniors lacked knowledge about healthy eating. Seniors have irregular drinking mode, they consume little vegetables, fruits, wholegrain cereals, dairy products, legumes, and fish. They prefer meat, sausages, and white flour products. All seniors had their eating divided into several daily portions, and nobody left out breakfast. Research results may be used in organizations that take care of seniors to improve care, or may serve their relatives, or even seniors themselves to improve their knowledge in the area of proper eating at a higher age.

There are defined the basic terms in the theoretical part, which are used futher in the other parts of the work. The terms are not defined only in the economic point of view but the emphasis is on psychological aspects of loosing the job. Another way of definition is the social point of view and it describes the impact of unemployment on family and friends of the unemployed. The theoretical part is further given to a calculation of unemployment and to the forms of unemployment. Last but not least there are defined the risk groups of people in the theoretical part, who are put in danger the most by loosing and finding new job the most.
