Study On The Cognition Of Health And Nutrition Education Among The Elderly In Shenyang

In recent years,we have gradually entered an aging society.The proportion of the elderly population has increased year by year.The health of the elderly will affect the harmony and stability of our society.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the attention of all aspects of the elderly.However,in view of the large provinces and cities in China,although the elderly population is relatively high,they generally lack knowledge of nutrition,and the level of nutritional awareness is generally low,which affects the prevention of disease in the elderly.At a time when China's medical system is still not perfect,the nutritional awareness of the elderly is insufficient,which will not be conducive to the reduction of medical costs in China.Therefore,it is necessary for us to investigate the nutritional awareness of the elderly in China,identify the factors that affect their nutritional awareness,and carry out targeted nutrition education promotion to ensure the nutritional awareness of the elderly.This paper will use sample survey method,literature data method,interview method,mathematical statistics method and other methods to investigate the elderly over 60 years old in Heping District,Shenhe District,Huanggu District,Xinmin City,and Kangping County.Understand the nutritional knowledge,nutritional attitudes,eating behaviors,sources and needs of nutritional knowledge of the elderly,identify the factors affecting these variables,and point out the current level of nutritional awareness of the elderly in Shenyang,and finally combine with Shenyang and the elderly In the actual situation of the people,several suggestions are put forward in the promotion of nutrition education.Based on the investigation of the 618 elderly people surveyed by "Shenyang city on the elderly residents of nutrition knowledge,attitude and behavior questionnaire",the questionnaire is developed on the basis of the "2008 Chinese citizen health literacy questionnaire",The preparation includes the following aspects: first,the basic information of the respondents;second,the knowledge of nutrition;third,nutritional attitude;fourth,eating behavior;fifth,the source and demand of nutritional knowledge.The results show that the overall nutritional awareness of the elderly in Shenyang is only 5.2%.Among them,the knowledge of nutrition is affected by independent factors such as age,education level,average monthly income of the family and occupation.Whether or not an elderly person has a good nutritional attitude is influenced by independent factors such as age,education level,occupation and average monthly household income.A healthy eating behavior rate is influenced by three independent factors: education level,average monthly income,and occupation.The source of nutrition knowledge and the availability of demand are influenced by independent factors such as education level,occupation and average monthly household income.Older people should be the beneficiaries of food education.Although the eating habits of the elderly are relatively fixed,their acceptance and awareness are more mature than children.In addition,the elderly have a strong sense of family responsibility,and chronic non-communicable diseases related to eating behavior are increasing.For their own health,the elderly can actively improve their bad eating habits.The research in this paper is helpful to provide a reference for Shenyang to improve the nutritional awareness of the elderly.
