Nutrition as the primary prevention for seniors and the influence of way of housing on their eating behavior
HLÍZOVÁ, Veronika
This diploma thesis deals with nutrition as the primary prevention for seniors and the influence of way of housing on their eating behavior. With regard to ways of living, they are seniors living in their own household together with a partner, and seniors who live on their own. The aims that are set for this thesis are: mapping eating habits in observed seniros; finding how aware seniors are of nutrition including nutrition recommendations and finding what influence living with a partner or independent living has on eating behavior in observed seniors. To reach the aims a qualitative research method was used. Data colletion was done via semistructured interviews with healthy seniors living in the town of Kaplice. The obtained data was subsequently coded and categorized. I consider the finding of insufficient consumption of fruit, vegetables, milk including dairy products, and an unnecessary intake of candies and sweetened beverages in seniors to be a significant finding. Seniors usually get correct information about nutrition including nutrition recommendations, however, there are certain shortcomings in information about the recommended amounts of fruit and vegetable consumption or foods containing Vitamin D. In connection to the housing issues, a significant influence of independent living on seniors´ tendency to ignore themselves. With regard to the observed shortcomings in both nutrition as well as respondents´ awareness I would recommend an increase in senior education. An information leaflet, which I created and which is also a part of the appendix of this thesis, may serve as a tool.
