Food behaviour and health patterns in the French elderly population
With an aging population in Europe, understanding why frailty occurs earlier or later depending on individual characteristics is a strong challenge.

Typical profiles were identified using a double clustering approach aiming to reduce both observations and variables complexity (CDPCA, Vichi & Saporta, 2009).

Evolution de la perception sensorielle et des préférences alimentaires chez les personnes âgées : quel lien avec le statut nutritionnel ?
Le processus de vieillissement, même lorsqu’il se déroule normalement, est associé à de nombreuses modifications d’ordre physiologiques (ralentissement du transit intestinal, du métabolisme basal, perte de dents, altérations des capacités chimiosensorielles), psychologiques (solitude, dépression, démence) et sociologiques (retraite, veuvage, déménagement…) susceptibles d’avoir un impact sur la prise alimentaire et le statut nutritionnel de la personne âgée. Au-delà de ces changements, l’apparition d’une dépendance pour l’alimentation, qui fait généralement suite à une perte d’autonomie de la personne (apparition d’une incapacité physique ou psychique, veuvage…), modifie en profondeur le rap…

Regarding meal content, respondents were asked to choose among broad categories of dishes (e.g., salad, soup, roast, stew, veggies, cheese, fruit, pastry…
