AB  - Figures from the USA and the UK suggest that a high proportion of
elderly people in residential care would benefit from dietary therapy
for common degenerative disorders. A postal survey examined the extent
to which dietary advice was made available to homes and social service
departments. The results showed that minimal contact between homes,
social services and dietitians was the norm – 14 per cent of
social service departments employed a dietitian; only 3 and 5 per cent
respectively involved them on advisory committees. Concludes that the
potential of dietitians to improve residents′ quality of life has not
been fully exploited and thus nutritional care is based on a reactive
system.
