OBJECTIVE: To examine energy intake of elderly people participating in the
Survey in Europe on Nutrition and the Elderly, a Concerted Action (SENECA)
study in relation to the adequacy of micronutrient intake. DESIGN: Data
from eight countries on 486 men and 519 women who were 74- 79 years old.
Dietary intakes of energy, iron, thiamine, riboflavin and pyridoxine were
calculated. RESULTS: There was inadequate intake of one or more nutrients
in 23.9% of men and 46.8% of women. The prevalence of inadequate intakes
decreased gradually with higher energy intakes. Of all people with energy
intakes exceeding 1500 kcal, 19% of men and 26% of women still had an
inadequate intake of at least one micronutrient. CONCLUSION: We found no
single criterion ensuring level of energy intake with an adequate
micronutrient supply. The prevalence of an inadequate intake of
micronutrients was high at all energy intake levels, especially in women.
