Over Time

By many estimates the majority of adults over age 65 have two or more chronic medical conditions (multimorbidity) and are consequently at increased risk of adverse functional outcomes. Nonetheless, many older adults with multimorbidity are able to maintain high levels of function and retain good quality of life. Research presented here is designed to understand the influences that help ensure better functional outcomes in these older adults. This chapter presents findings that draw on data from the Midlife in the United States study. The independent and interactive contributions of diverse factors to multimorbidity and changes in multimorbidity over time are reviewed. The degree that multimorbidity increases risk of cognitive impairment and disability is examined. The role of inflammation as a mediator is considered. Multimorbidity is increasingly the norm for older adults, so better understanding of factors contributing to variability in multimorbidity-related outcomes can lead to improved quality of life.

Congregate Meal Program

Abstract Objectives Congregate meal program (CMP) participation has been steadily declining despite a growing older adult population. The CMP is an important community nutrition program for older adults. Understanding the needs and preferences for the CMP by older adults is imperative if CMP participation is to increase. The purpose of this study was to identify the motivators and barriers for CMP attendance, menu preferences, desired environmental attributes, and educational programming ideas. Methods Participants were recruited via in-person presentations and personal invitations in two Midwest urban counties. Four focus groups were held. Three groups were with CMP participants (n = 21) and one with non-CMP participants (n = 11). All (n = 33) completed a sociodemographic questionnaire. Focus group transcriptions were analyzed for themes using standard focus group protocol. Sociodemographic data were analyzed via SPSS using descriptive statistics. Results All were White. The majority were educated (75.8% some college or higher), female (72.2%), and were food secure (93.8%). Over half (53.1%) aged 71 to 80 years old. Participants stated successful aging required support systems, health care access, financial security, community activities for older adults, and transportation. CMP participation motivators were socialization, affordability, access to a healthy meal and location. Participation barriers for non-CMP participants were being unaware of a CMP near them, limited transportation and not feeling that they needed to participate. Preferred marketing strategies included word of mouth and print-based advertisement. Participants stated that ideally, the CMP would be held in a facility with a welcoming ambience, offer menu choice, and provide a variety of extracurricular activities. Conclusions These findings provide insight as to how the CMP may be modified to be more appealing to older adults. We suggest CMP promotion highlight the value of a healthy meal and the opportunities for socialization.
