Johnson, Mary Ann; And Others
International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v34 n1 p57-76 1992
Compared dietary patterns of 165 older adults. Compared to younger cohorts, centenarians (n=24) consumed breakfast more regularly, avoided weight loss diets and large fluctuation in body weight, consumed slightly more vegetables, and relied on doctors and family for nutrition information. Centenarians were less likely to consume low-fat diets and to comply with certain nutritional guidelines. (Author/NB)
