Jung SE, et al. - From February 2017 to May 2017, a cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the complex relationships between self-care capacity, depressive symptoms, food insecurity, and nutritional status among low-income older adults. Study participants were 372 low-income older adults, 60 years of age and older, living in the state of Alabama. The results obtained from the study indicate functionally impaired low-income older adults encounter greater food insecurity. Researchers reported that inability to afford food combined with limited ability to take care of oneself contributes to an increased self-report of depressive symptoms, resulting in less favorable nutritional status.
