  • Title: A short method to ensure nutritional adequacy of food served in nursing homes. I. Identification of need.
    Author: Allington JK, Matthews ME, Johnson VK, Johnson NE.
    Journal: J Am Diet Assoc; 1980 May; 76(5):458-64. PubMed ID: 7391475.
    Abstract:
    The need was identified for a short method to ensure that food served to nursing home residents provides 100 per cent of Recommended Dietary Allowances for fourteen nutrients without exceeding 110 per cent of the allowances for calories. In one or all three nursing homes studied, food served was nutritionally adequate except for: Niacin, zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6, and folacin. The pattern of food used showed more variation between nursing homes than within a single nursing home, suggesting that a short method should be developed for each nursing home.
