The eating habits and nutrient intakes of elderly people are affected by many environmental factors. In this study, responses to television advertisements and social participation were inspected for their relationships to adequacy of nutrient intake and food patterns. The relationships found suggest that the diets of elderly persons are better among the more social and that those who watch more television tend to eat more.
