Nutritional requirements of the elderly: a Japanese view
1992
Fujita, Y.
Japan is moving toward an advanced-age society at a very high speed. In 1991, mean life expectancy of the Japanese was 75.86 years for males and 81.81 years for females. Twelve percent of the population is over 65, and statistical data indicate that by 2020 one out of every four Japanese will be at least 65 years old. In about 3300 facilities for the elderly, the meals are based on the RDA. However, these people have differences in eating habits, dietary customs, food preferences, chronological and physiological ages, and health conditions. Therefore, flexibility is essential when applying the RDAs to the elderly.
