Abstract

Older people are at increased risk of malnutrition. Community meals have the potential to reduce the risk of developing malnutrition. However, little is known about the nutritional content of these meals or why older people chose to eat in community lunch settings. Wilson (2009) found community meals benefited older people through increasing the appetite of those living alone. This study aimed to explore how meals provided in a community setting contribute to the health, nutritional intake and wellbeing of free-living older people aged 65 years and over
