| Popis: | We conducted a cross-sectional evaluation nested within a long-term cohort study that was designed to examine the relationship between frequency of food group consumption (FGC), self-rated health, and life satisfaction of community-dwelling older men in the Manitoba Follow-up Study. Questionnaires returned from 1,211 Canadian male participants contained frequency of FGC (daily, most days, or rarely), self-reported nutrition, and health-related perceptions. Men consuming vegetables/fruit (V&F) daily versus rarely were four times more likely to report better self-rated health OR = 4.00 (95%CI = 1.31, 12.3) and three times more likely to rate greater life satisfaction OR = 3.08 (95%CI = 1.00, 9.45). Our findings indicate that frequent consumption of V&F is associated with the perception of better health and greater life satisfaction. |
