目的：探讨资源和与食物相关的目标对老年人食物选择多样性的影响。设计：在波兰、葡萄牙、英国、德国、瑞典、丹麦、意大利和西班牙8个欧洲国家进行问卷调查。研究对象：3200名65岁以上的老年人。样本为定额样本，按性别、年龄和居住环境分8组，每组50人，反映了每个国家人口受教育程度、收入和居住环境城市化程度的差异。结论：老年人食物摄入量的多样性取决于物质资源(如月收入、购车情况、生活安排、身心健康)。然而，除了这些变量之外，老年人对其他资源的感知方式，如他们的食欲水平、他们的食物知识、他们对商店的距离的看法、获得高质量产品的机会、有更好的厨房设施、获得良好的服务提供者以及来自朋友和邻居的支持，都导致了他们饮食的多样性。
Objective - To investigate the influences of resources and food-related goals on the variety of food choice among older peopleDesign: A questionnnaire-based survey in eight European countries: Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Italy and Spain.Subjects: Participants (n 3200) were above 65 years of age and living in their own homes. The samples were quota samples, eight groups of fifty in each country, based on gender, age and living circumstances, reflecting the diversity of each of the national populations based on education, income and urbanization of living environment.Conclusions: Older people's variety of food intake depended on material resources (e.g. monthly income, access to a car, living arrangement, physical and mental health). However, in addition to these variables, the way older people perceived other resources, such as their level of appetite, their food knowledge, their perception of the distance to the shops, access to high-quality products, having better kitchen facilities, access to good service providers and support from friends and neighbours, all contributed to how varied a diet they ate.
