Description
Ali Shokri and colleagues assessed diet quality among older adults in Iran in a 2026 multi-source study. They combined national household survey data covering 110,765 older adults from 2019 to 2022 with two cohorts, one in Tehran and one in Birjand.
Survey estimates showed low intake of fruit, vegetables, dairy, and meat, with grains dominating the diet, and mean energy intake fell below recommended levels. Cohort data allowed nutrient adequacy ratios to be calculated at the individual level. Because the sources used different methods, the team analysed them separately and read the results together. Their findings point to clear gaps in food intake for a fast-ageing population.
