Abstract
The Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service developed and implemented an eight-session food and nutrition promotion program entitled “Healthy Living.” The program was designed to provide Oklahomans over fifty-five years of age with the knowledge and skills to apply the Food Guide Pyramid, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Nutrition Facts Label to food selection, food preparation, and food safety practices. Significant improvements were observed in participant's food selection and preparation, food intake, and food safety behavior scores; number of servings consumed from the Food Guide Pyramid; and health measures after completing the “Healthy Living” program. These observations represent improvements in dietary behaviors, nutritional status and decreased disease risk.
