| Annotation | Using a stratified random sample of 249 older rural community-dwelling American women, this study evaluated the ability of the DETERMINE Your Nutritional Health Checklist to identify those with at-risk dietary intakes. A modified DETERMINE checklist found 7% and 42% of the sample to be at high and moderate nutrition risk respectively. Dietary analysis of the semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire found 93% of the women to be at-risk for at least one of eight key nutrients. More than a quarter were at risk for four or more nutrients. Stepwise logistic regression revealed that only three questions from the DETERMINE checklist were predictive of at-risk nutrient intake. Neither total DETERMINE checklist score, nor a score of _3 nor _6 was predictive of at-risk nutrient intake. These results indicate that the DETERMINE checklist is not an effective tool for identifying nutritional risk. (RH). |
