This was a cross-sectional survey commissioned by Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare, and conducted by Taiwanese Association of Diabetes Educators in year 2011. In brief, type 2 diabetic subjects who regularly visited the same Diabetes Health Promotion Institute for at least one year were invited by a method of one per every 5 consecutive visitors. Every 5 enrolled subjects were asked to fill the semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The categories listed in FFQ included a total of 10 food categories and 83 types of food. We compared elderly group (≥65 years old, n=285, with age 72.6±5.1 years (mean±SEM), and the adult group (<65 years old, n=392, with age 54.4±8.0 years). The body mass index of the elderly group was lower than the adult group (25.3±3.7 vs. 26.4±4.4 kg/m2, p<0.05). Values of SBP, DBP, fasting glucose, PPG, HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride were not different between elderly and adult diabetes. There were no differences between calorie intake (1856.0±630.8 vs. 1965.1±619.3 kcal/day, p=0.80) and protein intake (59.5±25.0 vs. 64.9±23.9 gm/day, p=0.47) while cholesterol intake were significantly lower in elderly diabetes subjects (158.7±123.6 vs. 206.4±156.5mg/day, p<0.01) than adults diabetes. In general, nutrients intake were lower in women than men with the cholesterol intake reached statistically significant. The percentages of those who attained the ABC goals in the elderly group were 12.3% compared with 8.6% in the adult group (p=0.413). In conclusion, nutrients intake of the elderly diabetic group are lower than the adult group. Further careful monitoring and ensure adequacy nutrients intake while maintain good diabetes control in elderly patients are clearly needed.
