方法本研究得到了部落政府、印第安人卫生服务和科罗拉多州多机构审查委员会的批准。60岁或以上的美国印第安人是从整个保留地和几个非保留地信托地区的10个由老龄化管理局资助的高级营养项目地点招募的。137名参与者完成了MMSE， 129名参与者完成了MDRS（表1）。所有参与者都签署了批准的同意书。使用老年人营养计划的标准包括：60岁或以上、美国印第安人、居住在老年人营养中心5英里半径内。该项目服务于绝大多数保留区的老年美洲印第安人（83%），主要排除了偏远或不感兴趣的老年人。
METHODThis study was approved by the tribe’s government, the Indian Health Service, and the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board. American Indians 60 years of age or older were recruited from 10 Administration on Aging-funded senior nutrition program sites throughout the reservation and in several off-reservation trust areas. One hundred thirty-seven participants completed the MMSE and 129 participants completed the MDRS (Table 1). All participants signed approved consent forms. Criteria for utilizing the senior nutrition program included being age 60 or older, American Indian, and living within a 5-mile radius of a senior nutrition center. The program served the vast majority of the reservation’s older American Indians (83%), excluding mainly remote or uninterested elders.
