Description
Elizabeth Parker, Nadia Saif, Kathryn Barry, Jason Falvey, and Odessa Addison study isolation and diet in adults with disability in a 2023 paper. Both isolation and disability are known risks for poor nutrition. How isolation shapes diet in this group was less clear. Data come from a national health survey spanning 2013 to 2018.
The group holds 5,167 adults with a disability. An isolation score counts single status, living alone, and two social difficulty measures. The highest isolation group eats a lower quality diet overall, with fewer vegetables and fewer seafood or plant proteins. Single status and social difficulty each link to weaker diet parts, they find.
