| Research Abstract |
Research examining dietary status (comprising 693 staple foods and 895 dishes) was conducted in 232 facilities throughout Japan. Dietary forms were classified into seven staple foods and 15 dishes based on the cooking methods and physical features. The validity of these classifications was verified by examining the dietary intake of 105 persons in three care and welfare facilities for the elderly. The eating functions of subjects were assessed and the dietary forms conforming to those eating functions were checked based on the outcomes of videoendoscopic examinations of swallowing as well as the answers given by the facilities’personnel to a questionnaire. The results showed that the dietary form assessment based on questionnaires was effective. A method for selecting five staple foods and four dishes was developed using partition analysis. The rate of concordance with the results obtained using the videoendoscopic examination method was 0.94 in the case of dishes.
