与非西班牙裔白人相比，少数族裔在粮食不安全方面承受着沉重的负担。政府补贴的营养项目可以对老年人的粮食不安全和营养风险产生积极影响。然而，在纽约市，65岁以上的人中有近60%是非白人，老年少数族裔参加政府营养计划的比例非常低。在本评论中，我们重点关注两个项目：儿童和成人护理食品项目和美国老年人营养服务项目。我们发现了加强这些项目的机会，以提高他们在纽约市和同样多样化的城市社区中与不同老年人的接触和参与。
Racial minorities experience a high burden of food insecurity relative to non-Hispanic Whites. Government-subsidized nutrition programs can positively impact food insecurity and nutritional risk among older adults. Yet, in New York City, where nearly 60% of people over 65 are non-White, older minorities participate in government nutrition programs at very low rates. In this commentary, we focus on two programs: the Child and Adult Care Food Program and Older Americans Act Nutrition Services Programs. We identify opportunities for strengthening these programs to improve their reach and engagement with diverse older adults in New York City and similarly diverse urban communities.
