Abstract:
The U.S. Army’s Child, Youth, and School Services (CYS), which has the capacity to serve more than 70,000 meals/snacks per day, is a geographically dispersed system with facilities worldwide. This case report is a description and evaluation of the implementation of a major food program initiative within the CYS system. In collaboration with Kansas State University, the Healthy Menu Initiative was established to standardize the system’s menus, reflect the guidance contained within the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and take into account the Child and Adult Care Food Program regulations that went into effect on 1 October 2017. Food storage space, food service equipment, product availability, food safety considerations, and staff shortages have all proven to be challenges in the development and implementation of the menus. Participant acceptance has been an issue in some instances, and special diet requirements add to the workload of the staff. To overcome these challenges, input was solicited from CYS management, care providers, food service staff, and participant families, as well as participants themselves. Taste testing and classroom cooking activities have been developed to increase acceptance, and over 500 CYS food program staff have attended in-depth training sessions to support the initiative. Overall, the initiative has been well received, and there has been an improvement in the diet quality of the foods served within the program. This improvement is noteworthy, as optimal growth and development during childhood and adolescence are reliant on sound nutrition.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Falls are a leading cause of injury, death, functional impairment, and a driver of health costs and utilization in older adults. However, falls among older adults are mostly preventable and therefore fall risk reduction is a high value target for intervention. Poor nutritional status is a risk factor for falls and impedes recovery from falls. Understanding the role of rurality and seasonality in the relationship between falls, nutrition, and access to and use of community nutrition programs is imperative to planning future interventions to decrease fall risk. This pilot study will evaluate these relationships over time in a cohort of older Vermonters within the context of rurality and seasonality. Methods Using an observational, analytic study design, we will collect data at two points: baseline (fall 2020) and 6 months later (spring 2021) via an online survey. Adults, 60 and older and residing in Vermont year round were eligible to participate. We collected demographic and community program utilization data as well as responses to three validated questionnaires: CDC STEADI fall risk checklist, Seniors in the Community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition, Version III, and the 2-item Food Insecurity screen. We used descriptive statistics to analyze demographic data and chi square analyses to identify associations between food insecurity, nutrition risk, fall risk and falls. Results At baseline, 53% of the 708 respondents had an elevated fall risk, 42% had a fall in the past six months, 11% were experiencing food insecurity, and 55% were at a nutrition risk. Additionally, 72% of respondents self-identified as living in a rural setting. Overall, community resource utilization was low: 2% of respondents reported using Meals on Wheels, 7% SNAP, and 8% food banks. We found a significant association (P < 0.001) between fall risk and food insecurity, fall risk and nutrition risk, and food insecurity and nutrition risk. Conclusions Our baseline data provides evidence for a significant relationship between nutrition, food insecurity, and fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. Follow-up data will provide important information for understanding these relationships over time and within the context of rurality and seasons, particularly as this data was collected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
Energy and nutrient intake from agency meals (AM), other meals (OM) and total daily intake (TDI) of 61 day care and homebound subjects was studied for differences associated with age, income, education, marital status, living arrangements, gender, race, vitamin-mineral supplementation, Body Mass Index (BMI), Health Assessment (HA), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL).The AM provided more than one-third of the recommended allowances for all nutrients except vitamin B6 plus energy for men. TDI was low because of inadequate OM intake. TDI was less than 100 percent of recommended amounts for zinc plus fiber for women. were most significantly associated with intake from OM and TDI followed by education and income. No age, marital status or racial effects were noted.The ADLs and the IADLs were problematic for most of the participants. They were positively correlated with energy and nutrient intake, as intakes increased so did functional difficulties.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
