Abstract

Background: Previous studies on diet have primarily focused on individual nutrients or foods. Recently, the analysis of dietary patterns has emerged as a possible approach for examining food consumption. A literature review revealed no studies of dietary patterns in ELDERLY Iranians.Objectives: Our objective was to identify the major dietary intake patterns among the ELDERLY in the health homes located in Zone 5 of Tehran city, Iran.Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study (descriptive), 368 ELDERLY people (≥ 60 years old) were randomly selected. Their usual dietary intake during the past year was assessed using a 168-item semiquantitative FOOD FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE. Major FOOD PATTERNs were derived using FACTOR ANALYSIS after the classification of food items into 26 groups.Results: Four major dietary patterns were identified in the studied population: 1) healthy pattern, characterized by a higher intake of vegetables, tomato and tomato sauce, vegetable oil, olive, and fruits; 2) unhealthy pattern, characterized by a higher intake of red meat, fast food, snacks, sugar, honey and jam, soft drinks, and high-fat dairy products; 3). traditional pattern characterized by intake of whole grains, hydrogenated oil and animal fat, beans, salt, and pickles; and 4) protein-rich pattern, characterized by intake of chicken and poultry, fish, grains, and organ meats. These four major dietary patterns explained 16.3%, 7.5%, 6.7%, and 5.7% of the total variance, respectively.Conclusions: Four major dietary patterns were identified in the present studied population that can be used to provide tangible dietary advice for the ELDERLY.
