Abstract
Living arrangement, marital status and dietary patterns were examined for a representative sample of 2195 people aged 65 years and over residing in Adelaide, South Australia. Several indicators of food consumption patterns, dietary variety, and energy and nutrient intake from a self‐completed semiquantitative food‐frequency questionnaire were analysed. Elderly men living with a spouse generally had more favourable dietary patterns than those living alone. Women living alone, on the other hand, had largely similar dietary patterns, and nutrient intakes equal to or greater than those of women living with a spouse.
