Nutrition And Hydration

Older adults in the community are at risk of malnutrition and dehydration. The present article aims to outline an intervention and a population-health approach to raise awareness of the importance of good nutrition and hydration in later life. This was addressed by developing strong partnership working, governance frameworks and local steering committees. Through the Greater Manchester Nutrition and Hydration Programme, 39 500 older people have been asked about appetite and weight loss and/or used the PaperWeight Armband to date. A total of 5586 people from this population were found to be at risk of malnutrition. All were provided resources, advice and signposting to address this issue. The gross fiscal return on investment over a 5-year period was 3.2-fold and the net present budget impact was £800 000. The long-term cashable fiscal return on investment was estimated at 2.69. This very promising approach has potential to enable older adults to extend their healthy life span and deliver cost savings to the health and care system.

Grandparent-headed families, called grandfamilies, are increasingly important in assisting adult children and grandchildren. This study ( N = 376) provides a qualitative analysis of statements made by grandmothers about relationships between three core family members: (a) grandmother, (b) parent, and (c) grandchild. These family members constitute an intergenerational triad, displaying a variety of relationship patterns based on emotional closeness or distance. The most common configuration in three-generation families was all-three inter-generational members emotionally close or connected, and comments about relationships reflected problem solving, communication, and emotional management. Families in which the parent was close to and linked both adjacent generations were also frequent, and comments showed a clear parenting hierarchy with grandmother as secondary. Few families had weak, disconnected relationships between all three triad members or an emotionally isolated parent: These patterns were related to low grandmother and grandchild well-being. Evaluating intergenerational relationships aids identification of at-risk grandfamilies and has implications for family interventions.
