Abstract
Nutrition is a key for extending quality of life of the elderly. Factors associated with nutritional risk in elders were identified with a modified nutrition screen initiative checklist. High, moderate and low nutritional risk was seen in 31, 46 and 23%, respectively, of 324 elders in six congregate meal sites in northern Florida. High nutritional risk was associated with urban residency, females, being African American, self-reported poor health and irregular visits to medical/health professionals. African American females living in urban areas with limited access to health care are most vulnerable.
