Summary of publication
Submissions close at 5 pm on 6 November 2009.
Food and Nutrition Guidelines for Healthy Older People: A background paper supports three of the key priorities of the New Zealand Health Strategy (Minister of Health 2000) namely: to improve nutrition, to increase physical activity and to reduce obesity, and The Health of Older People Strategy (Ministry of Health 2002). The background paper highlights how the Food and Nutrition Guidelines can be specifically applied to healthy older people. It also informs the health education resources for the general public including Eating well for healthy older people / Te kai totika e ora ai te hunga kaumatua.
It is envisaged that Food and Nutrition Guidelines for Healthy Older People: A background paper will provide sound and practical advice for health practitioners including dietitians, nutritionists, doctors, nurses, primary health care providers, health promoters, and others working with older people in the practice of healthy nutrition.
