Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Many older adults with hyperlipidemia or hypertension participate in the Older Americans Act Nutrition Program, which serves meals in community settings and delivers meals to homes. However, there is little information regarding whether therapeutic meals designed around Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) principles have a beneficial effect on the diets of these older adults. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the degree to which dietary change is influenced by providing 7 home-delivered therapeutic meals weekly to adults aged > or = 60 y. DESIGN: We conducted a 1-y randomized controlled trial in 298 persons with hyperlipidemia or hypertension, in which 50% of participants received 7 therapeutic meals per week for 12 mo. Those in need of dietary change at baseline (n = 210) were examined. Changes in intermediate DASH accordance, DASH accordance, and the nutrients that make up the DASH diet were measured by using 24-h food recalls at baseline, 6 mo, and 12 mo. Chi-square tests, t tests, and multiple regression were used to examine the association between receipt of meals and dietary change over time. RESULTS: Participants who received meals were 20% (P = 0.001) more likely to reach intermediate DASH accordance at 6 mo and were 18% (P = 0.007) more likely to meet saturated fat accordance at 12 mo than were those who did not receive meals. When stratified by race and income, gains were marginally larger for whites and higher-income individuals. CONCLUSION: Delivery of 7 DASH meals per week was found to increase compliance with dietary recommendations among noncompliant older adults with cardiovascular disease.
