| BackgroundTo improve the cognition and application of dietary nutrition of the elderly population, thereby reducing the incidence of disease in the elderly population, it is an important strategy to deal. This thesis starts with the analysis of effective strategies in many countries to enhance the elderly nutrition diet, combining our current elderly health care policy status quo, to find a more suitable measure to enhance the protection of the elderly population nutritional diet.Research purposeIt is about to put forward constructive suggestions for Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines and revision of "Chinese senior citizen balanced diet pagoda", provide a reference base for carrying out aged population nutritional diet health education in China and try to offer references for China to make nutritional diet improvement policies related to senior citizens through understanding the cognition and application of Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines and "Chinese senior citizen balanced diet pagoda" in relevant management of senior citizens and population over 60 years old.Research object and methodAwareness rates of relevant management of senior citizens and population over 60 years old are to be 50% and 30% respectively through document analysis. With single sample frequency checking sample content formula and one-sided numbers ofa=0.05 and β=0.10, sample size of each respondent is estimated to be 100 and 200 people with total samples of 300 people.Part one: a professional questionnaire survey is made to relevant management of senior citizens with main contents of awareness and revision suggestions collection of Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines and "Chinese senior citizen balanced diet pagoda". Respondents are from the inaugural meeting of Geriatrics Society of China on April 19,2015. Participants mainly include Ministry of Civil Affairs, Women’s Federation, medical institutions; nursing institutions for the aged and pension industry, etc.276 participants attended the meeting with issuing questionnaire of 212. Part two:a public questionnaire survey is made to population over 60 years old with main contents of awareness of Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines and "Chinese senior citizen balanced diet pagoda", understanding of elder population nutritional diet common sense and incorrect cognition of elder population nutritional diet.Field questionnaire surveys have been made in Beijing, Langfang and Huludao with total questionnaires of 314 and 20 prefecture-level cities are selected as a supplement for internet surveys. Field survey places include Jingshan Park, Olympic Forest Park, Yuyuantan Park in Beijing, Fumanyuan Community, Xinghe Haoyue Community and Chaobai Renjia Community in Yanjiao Development Area, Langfang and Local Taxation Bureau Community, Gongyuan Community, Jinsui Phase//in Suizhong County, Huludao.Research resultsProfessional questionnaire survey results show that 157 questionnaires are collected in total 212 with 114 valid ones after data entry screening. Invalid ones are caused by incorrect residential addresses and invalid answers which don’t follow guides of questionnaire. For example, someone doesn’t know Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines but mark it with source.In the 114 relevant management of senior citizens who participate in the survey,43 people work on public health as the largest quantity taking up 38.39% of total; 28 people work on clinical medicine taking up 25%; 12 people work on food science taking up 10.71% and 29 people work in other fields taking up 25.89%.In summary, even though awareness rate of relevant management of senior citizens on Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines is not good with only 46.43% awareness and 53.57% never knowing existence of the guidelines, fortunately, people who know it learn it in different ways with main sources of internet, conference and books and minor source of TV.Public questionnaire results show that 221 valid questionnaires are collected. Invalid ones are caused by incorrect residential addresses and invalid answers which don’t follow guides of questionnaire. For example, someone doesn’t know Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines but mark it with source.Meanwhile, we also find that family’s monthly income of people over 60 years old is not high due to social causes. Educational level of them is junior high school on average. Hence, even if they learn nutritional diet common sense through effective health education, their dietary structure is hardly adjusted for the above two reasons. n surveys,59.28% of participants are 60-64 years old,25.79% is 64-69 years old, 11.31% is 70-75 years old and only 3.62% is over 75 years old. Moreover, we find that few aged people over 75 years old can cook by themselves in the surveys and most of them need food offered.Research conclusionsAccording to current researches, reasonable nutritional diet is a significant tool for prevention from senile diseases. However, in China, awareness and application of senior citizens on nutritional diet are not good. Based on practical experience of other countries, higher authoritative application guides need to be released because elder population is poorer than young people on acquisition ways of knowledge. Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines is extension of Dietary Guidelines of Chinese Residents and the most authoritative reading material for guiding nutrition of the aged in China. Cognition and application of the Guidelines could reflect attitude and behaviors of the aged on nutrition intake. As a result, update and promotion of Chinese Senior Citizen Dietary Guidelines and "Chinese senior citizen balanced diet pagoda" are quite necessary. |
