TUESDAY, Oct. 29, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- A striking considerable number of older adults have lower-than-recommended vitamin and mineral intake, which is associated with social isolation and loneliness, according to a study published online Oct. 16 in Age and Ageing.
Andrew Steptoe, Ph.D., from University College London, and colleagues evaluated whether isolation and loneliness are related to inadequate intake of micronutrients in the diet. The analysis included data from 3,713 older adults (mean age, 68.26 years) followed for two years.
