Descripción
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 50 years or older
- Regularly visits the Senior Center either for lunch meals or other center-based programming
- Willing and able to participate in a 6-month intervention, which includes consistent involvement in the lunch program
- Willing and able to participate in multiple focus group discussions centered around meal preferences, health perceptions, and dietary habits (full study participation is 7 months)
- Capable of providing informed consent and completing an eligibility screening
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of moderate to severe neurological condition(s) that may impact cognitive ability (e.g., dementia, major stroke)
- Known severe food allergies that may interfere with participation. (with study MD approval, participants with mild allergies or intolerances may be included and notified not to consume any known allergens)
- Recent changes in health status that affect the ability to assess foods (e.g., altered appetite, smell, vision, hearing, and/or taste)
- Any disorder, unwillingness, or inability, not covered by any of the other exclusion criteria, which, in either the investigator's or study MD's opinion, might jeopardize the subject's compliance with the protocol. This includes impaired vision requiring assistance or aid from another person, impaired smell, or impaired taste perception. Given the number of written surveys and visual support materials, the study would place a large burden on participation for individuals with visual impairment requiring assistance.
- Individuals who have a cognitive, sensory, or physical impairment that prevents them from understanding the consent information or completing the required consent documentation will be excluded from participation.
