Abstract

The SENECA study, which sampled a cohort of community-dwelling persons born between 1913 and 1918 in 12 European countries in baseline (1988), follow up (1993), and final (1999) surveys, found a relatively high risk of malnutrition despite a low prevalence of actual malnourishment. The results point out the importance of monitoring nutritional status in healthy elderly adults.
